IAAE® has a clear vision for the future of education and training on automation in the life sciences industry. They are actively working with universities, consortia, and life sciences companies to make things happen. As a member of the Life Sciences Advisory Board, I’m always challenged to help find ways to bring relevant automation education to university students, as well as online and hands-on training to industry professionals. There’s a real need for life sciences companies to be able to hire new graduates with the right skills and/or provide external training. The current model of on-the-job training isn’t efficient for anyone.

Having this course would close what I see as a key gap in understanding automation and design within our industry (and perhaps others). What we often see here is manufacturing getting frustrated by automation that does not “help”, and automation engineers getting frustrated by manufacturing associates who “just don’t execute as designed”. I think this course will go a long way to bridge this gap in understanding.”
