Theres a growing movement in the embedded space, especially in the most complex industries where regulatory compliance is mission critical and standards parameters are particularly stringent. In these industries, like medical and industrial robotics, customer experience centers (CEC) can help engineers solve tricky challenges and lead to deeper engagements with OEMs and suppliers.

Earlier this year, we published an article describing the vital importance of STEM (Science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in driving technology innovation. In this blog, using examples from Advanced Energy’s own programs, we build on the theme by discussing how successful partnerships between businesses and universities are fundamental to encouraging and developing new generations of STEM talent that will deliver the innovative technologies of the future.

From semiconductor and industrial manufacturing to battling climate change and delivering smart cities and advanced medical diagnostics, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – collectively known as STEM – are essential disciplines for advancing innovation and addressing some of the planet’s greatest challenges.
