Cape Breton University incorporating robotics into STEM course offerings

Sydney, NS – Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Bringing academic research facilities and businesses together to find innovative solutions to industry challenges is key to generating income, spurring growth and making lasting impacts on the Atlantic Canadian economy. Cape Breton University is taking steps to ensure its students are equipped to use the new technology necessary to work in existing and emerging industries. Cape Breton University will incorporate tailored robotics platforms with architecture applications into its curriculum, which will benefit students in the facility’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs. The new equipment will also enable businesses to explore incorporating automation into existing advanced manufacturing processes to improve their competiveness. This project builds on the relationships between academia and business that translate into new ideas, bringing Atlantic Canada to the leading edge of innovation.
