A-B Tech is one of a few schools in the nation approved for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) pilot program. SACA is a non-profit organization that is developing standardized credentials for Industry 4.0 technology, automation, and smart manufacturing.
They're designing stackable credentials that can be integrated into both associate and bachelor’s degrees in engineering and engineering technology programs. “While there are a large number of organizations offering third-party credentials, what really sets SACA apart is that they have both Fanuc and Rockwell Automation/AB on board,” said Daniel Mancuso, Chair of Electrical, Electronics, & Computer Engineering Technologies.
