Professionalize Your Technical Skills with a Specialty in Robotics Engineering

Thant A.

Client, Electrical Engineer / IT

I just want to reiterate the point that what I find very useful in this program is that being able to talk to an Expert like you, Liz, and check-in every week, and get my questions answered and look at positions together with you (Liz). And get very specific advice like whether these positions are right (for me). Some of these positions, like on my own, I would never even considered them. But having you say, as an expert, that these positions are right for me, that’s where the value is.

Robby C.

Client, Business Automation

Liz's is knowledge outside of robotics and training — even stemming into the knowledge and self-confidence. Being able to have her coach me through the stress — I've been able to take this mindset shift across sales and my automation projects. Just that alone is amazing.

Angel P.

Client, Robotics Deployment @ Amazon

For any aspiring, seasoned, or non-traditional engineer who is looking for grounded and constructive advice about entering into robotics; Liz is a great mentor. Liz is a well-rounded roboticist as she has studied, worked, and researched the robotics industry. From our multiple conversations, the best part I’ve always appreciated is her ability to construct a game plan about the goals you want to achieve. I've met with other engineers and from experiences, I can say this, 'Everyone can provide advice, but very few can provide it with context and action behind it.'

Dan S.

Client, Operations

Liz is spot on. Her knowledge lines up and made me feel more confident talking with industry professionals.

Steven R.

Client, Sr. Mechanical Engineer @ Startup

Liz worked with me by having mock interviews, which is important during the job search process.

Will H.

Client, Business Automation

I think everybody here is setting off on a journey and paying attention to the mindset and what am I actually thinking about minute to minute is critical. Thumbs up!

Raktim P.

Client, Masters in Robotics

This is my first session in the program. Being in University you're always surrounded by mostly academic stuff, which keeps you insulated from the outside world. You don't really know what exactly is required to go about things. So this was very enlightening for me.

Nicholas A.

Client, Mechanical Engineer

How you granularly go through everything is pretty important. I think this was a really good way to organize your thoughts. I wasn't able to write this down as effectively myself, knowing if I could leverage [my skills] or not. I think this was helpful and it gives me more confidence that I could actually do what I want to do, and I'm excited.

Greg S.

Client, Manufacturing Manager

The program has been helpful. I enjoyed the learning and I feel like I've gotten a lot of resources.

Chris F.

Client, Industrial Automation

Liz is on the money on this one. I'll give her that. It's really good.
