MCA – Moving Forward
• Opportunity for Expansion - MCA was approached by SMMA – the motor and motion control association – in 2014 about a potential merger. - Retirement of their long-time management team. Two options explored: Hire new management firm Merge with another association
![Page 12: MCA – Past, Present, Future… · March 3 EtherCat as a Master Machine Control Tool. Galil: Electromate / Galil. April 21 Innovative Servo Solutions for Mobile Robotics: AMC.

MCA’s Role in Education
• Increasing the application and use of Motion control technology is central to MCA’s mission – Higher level of competence in our industry will lead to an
increased adoption of Motion Control technology. • Current state of education in our industry
– No accepted industry-standard for education – Basic knowledge required by our employees and customers is
similar, and most member companies are developing and deploying their own training for these basic topics.
• An MCA Education Program would provide value to both member companies and our customers.

Step One
• The education committee has developed a syllabus for the first phase of the program
• Course will be developed as online modules – Each module will consist of a 30-60 minute video of a Subject
Matter Expert delivering a presentation in a classroom setting – Final program will be 16-20 hours of online instruction
• Online quizzing to assess and encourage progress • Final proctored exam at completion
