“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in this year’s Robot Rumble, from high school students and teachers, to Sask Polytech faculty and staff. We appreciate and recognized the efforts and contributions you’ve made to this event over the past ten years,” says Jamie Hilts, dean, School of Mining, Energy & Manufacturing, School of Natural Resources & Built Environment, Departments of Arts & Sciences and Co-operative Education. “The event continues to grow in popularity from year-to-year and is a good example of the type of learning found in the field of electronics. It is also an exercise in teamwork and provides a sense of friendly competition.”

Saskatchewan Polytechnic program graduates from the School of Mining, Energy, and Manufacturing work with business, industry and government employers in areas such as manufacturing, communications, resource processing and consulting. Starting salaries for recently surveyed graduates of Saskatchewan Polytechnic electronics-related programs range from $35,400 - $104,000 annually.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic serves 28,000 distinct students through applied learning opportunities at campuses in Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina and Saskatoon, and through extensive distance education opportunities. Programs serve every economic and public service sector. As a polytechnic, the organization provides the depth of learning appropriate to employer and student needs, including certificate, diploma and degree programs, and apprenticeship training. Saskatchewan Polytechnic engages in applied research, drawing on faculty expertise to support innovation by employers, and providing students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills.
