Liam Schroeder and Glen McClyman were both working as heavy equipment assemblers when they decided they wanted to improve their career opportunities by enrolling in the Process Engineering Technology program at Moraine Park Technical College.
Upon graduation, neither was disappointed with their decision as they both encountered countless opportunities that can be traced to the education they received at Moraine Park. Continue reading
Let’s review the list of the school supplies every College student needs:
On May 10th, the Moraine Park’s Process Engineering Technology and Mechanical Design programs hosted the Distance Challenge. The Distance Challenge is a competition where high school students build a device of 30 lbs or less to hurl or throw a rubber ball. Four schools entered teams this year, Mayville High School, North Fond du Lac High School, Elkhart Lake – Glenbeulah High School, and GPS Education Partners, a charter school in Jackson. There were six total entrants, four in the “Slingshot” division, and two in the “Other” division, both being Catapults. Continue reading
On Wednesday, May 11th, the Integrated Manufacturing Students at Moraine Park Technical College held the championship match of their Techbots Competition. In the championship match, Flippin Awesome proved to be nearly indestructible against the dangerous Chips Miller.
Moraine Park’s Integrated Manufacturing Classes are required of students in the Mechanical Design, Process Engineering Technology, and Mechatronics programs. Students in these programs take the course together and work in cross-functional teams to complete a project. This year’s project was a Techbot competition. Four teams in the evening class and four teams in the day class built remote-controlled robots to compete against each other by battling in an 8ft x 12ft cage. Each team designed and built their Techbot from scratch. Limitations included a $250 budget and a 15-pound weight limit.
Preliminary rounds were on Wednesday, May 4 for the evening class, and Friday, May 6 for the morning class.
Champions of both classes were crowned, and now the final battle for supremacy between these two Techbot champions will take place this Wednesday night (May 11) for ultimate bragging rights.
Drum roll please … Continue reading
