Conclusion

I personally believe that robotics, as an industry, is going to boom in the next decade (if it takes that long). In additional, I also think that can be used as a medium to teach the concepts, skills, knowledge and techniques that a community college has to teach in the first place. As a result, an early incorporation of robotics into programs of ARC will greatly benefit the students as well as the college, both in the short term and in the long run.

Cooperation between the CSIT and Electronics Technology department is the key to the success of a robotics-centric program. The sharing of classroom and lab resources is only the beginning of the benefits. The interaction of professors with different expertise and interests will strengthen both departments and benefit the students and college as a whole.
