SASI Workshop
What is the Systems Automation Springboard to Internships (SASI) Workshop?
SASI is an intensive, three week hands-on training workshop in process control and industry automation. Students are sponsored by industry partners, and following completion of the workshop are assigned a summer internship with the sponsoring company. The workshop takes place each January at ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s College of Engineering and Computing, and prepares students for “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” which fuses AI, robotics, the Internet of Things, quantum computing, and other technologies.
