The Otsego Northern Catskills (ONC) BOCES Mechatronics Program has worked with industry partners and the ONC BOCES New Visions Engineering Program on several projects. Jeff Sciera and the Ralph W. Earl Company, Melton Machine and Control Company, Dave Morell and the New Visions Engineering Program worked with Mechatronics students to create a robotic welding simulator (pictured left).

The Mechatronics Program is also working to develop a sleeve crimping machine (pictured right) for local industry. Phuong Mokay from FCL Collaborative provided instruction to Mechatronics Juniors on how to turn a concept into a CAD drawing for parts production. Specialty parts for this machine will be made by the New Visions Engineering Class.

ONC BOCES is grateful and proud to be a part of these industry and internal collaborations.
