Catherine Quon (blue tee, left) from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Hannah Brood (right) from Rudyard, Mich., accept a congratulatory fist bump from Lake Superior State University student counselor Brandon Niemi. The trio’s demonstration on a Staubli robot in LSSU’s automated systems laboratory performed flawlessly for friends and family on July 7. Demos capped an intensive weeklong Women In Technology camp hosted by Lake State that offered projects in electronics, computer simulation, webpage development, industrial robotics, and Arduino robotics. LSSU is the only university in the United States to offer an industrial robotics specialization in its undergraduate engineering and engineering technology degrees for the past 30 consecutive years. Niemi, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., is a senior majoring in electrical engineering with a robotics concentration.
Paige Dugas keeps a sharp eye on her FANUC M10 robot in Lake Superior State University’s automated systems laboratory on July 7. Dugas, who hails from East Lansing, Mich., joined 20 other junior high-age campers over the last two weeks from all over Michigan and Ontario for LSSU’s 26th-annual Women In Technology camp. The intensive weeklong sessions offer projects in electronics, computer simulation, webpage development, industrial robotics, and Arduino robotics. The camps are underwritten by federal, state, and private-sector grants in an attempt to bring more women into technology careers. LSSU is the only university in the United States to offer an industrial robotics specialization in its undergraduate engineering and engineering technology degrees for the past 30 consecutive years.
