Patrick Denis graduated from the Robotics Technician program and is currently taking the Electronics Technician program. He is a Maintenance and Calibration Technician at Maetta Science, a company that specializes in specializes in MIM (metal injection moulding).

While Patrick had an Electromechanical Diploma he felt it was important to understand robotic systems, "Today all types of companies have robotics systems in place and I want to make sure I keep up to date". "With the Robotics program I am able to understand how a robotic system works, from pick and place, to a palletizing system or even a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines). In fact I have been able to fix work problems as they come up; for instance one time our palletizing system failed and I was able to correct the program and restart the production line...something I couldn't have done before taking the Robotics program."

"My biggest challenge was to manage my schedule; I work full time so the distance education programs at George Brown College made it possible for me to continue to learn and upgrade my skills."
