Wired Glove Gives Life to Robot
David Zlotnicki provides a brief demonstration of his Wired Glove, a creation that allows him to manipulate the arm of a robot.
Critical thinking meets problem solving. Toss in a handful of Boolean logic expressions and some truth tables and you’re well on your way to an education in electronics. Pair that foundation in electronics with advanced training in programmable logic controllers, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and vision and motion control systems, and you’ll be ready to dive into a career in this thriving field.
As an Electronics & Computer Engineering Technology: Robotics & Automation student, you're eligible to pursue a dual degree in Automation Engineering Technology: Robotics & Automation or Building Automation Engineering Technology.

You're on your way to becoming a tomorrow maker.
At Penn College, we believe your educational experience should go beyond specialized skills. Real-world ready means taking a broader approach that builds communication skills, inspires collaboration, and encourages exploration of arts, history, and science.
Specialization requires in-depth knowledge and high-level proficiency. Students learn and apply major-specific concepts, skills, and methods.
Perspectives are points of view, offering a variety of ways of understanding, interacting, and influencing the world. Students identify, explain, and utilize the approaches used by academics and professionals to study, analyze, or understand problems, and offer solutions.
Foundations are the practical, intellectual, and social skills: communication, collaboration, critical and ethical thinking, quantitative thinking, and technological literacy that are crucial to every student at every stage of education and at every stage of life.
