+ South Central College Mechatronics
NSF Project: n iMEC is an distance learning program that
gives students the opportunity to access instructors, participate in distance classes and experience the real hands-on training of on-site Mechatronics courses.
n South Central developed iMEC, a distance
learning educational model using online, simulation lab kits and remote access delivery methods that allow institutions to share curriculum and specialized equipment across multiple campuses and also with industry partners.
