The Robotics program at Lawson State has provided me with instruction and training on a variety of equipment.  The coursework is so interesting, and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable with lots of industry experience.  I've had the opportunity to be a work-study in the manufacturing department, and the experience has allowed me to learn about all of the manufacturing programs at the College.  When I complete the Robotics program, I would like to continue my studies at Lawson in electronics.
