ExGen in Action

Omni Control Technologies

Mr. Salvador | Computer Science & Robotics | Milford High School

​

Mr. Salvador spent time at Omni Control Technologies exploring how advanced technology, robotics, engineering, and manufacturing come together in the workplace.

​

Bringing it back to students:
His students will visit Omni to observe the engineering, design, and manufacturing process before designing and building a simplified version of an energy box used to provide electricity in remote areas. The project will give students authentic experience with the design process while introducing them to career pathways in technology and manufacturing.
