Hands-On Robotic Experience for Engineering Students at Wilkes University – Wilkes-Barre, PA

When a stu­dent enters col­lege and decides to take on the com­plex major of engi­neer­ing, it can them in many dif­fer­ent direc­tions. One of those direc­tions is the field of robot­ics. While stu­dents can learn a lot from their stud­ies, it is the hands-on knowl­edge they gain from using robot­ics that real­ly trains them for their future in the job market.

Wilkes Uni­ver­si­ty in Wilkes-Barre, Penn­syl­va­nia rec­og­nizes this and has automa­tion robot­ics labs to help their stu­dents link togeth­er mechan­i­cal, elec­tri­cal, micro­proces­sor, and com­put­er engi­neer­ing sci­ences, accord­ing to their web­site. Of course, if you have a robot­ics lab and engi­neer­ing stu­dents who need hands-on expe­ri­ence, then you need robots to fill those labs. Wilkes Uni­ver­si­ty decid­ed to come to Robots​.com to pur­chase an ABB Edu­ca­tion­al Pack­age for their engi­neer­ing stu­dents to use. 

Accord­ing to Aman­da Mod­rovsky of Wilkes Uni­ver­si­ty, this was their first time pur­chas­ing an indus­tri­al robot for aca­d­e­m­ic use. Mod­rovsky stat­ed that the ABB IRB 120 IRC5 Edu­ca­tion­al Pack­age was an excel­lent pur­chase and has ben­e­fit­ed the uni­ver­si­ty by increas­ing the poten­tial of their engi­neer­ing stu­dents through aca­d­e­m­ic uti­liza­tion of the sys­tem. She also stat­ed that the uni­ver­si­ty were pleased with the com­pet­i­tive price and ease of pur­chase of their sys­tem through Robots​.com, adding that she would rec­om­mend Robots​.com to others.
