A group of B.S. automation leadership students at UW-Stout completed a multi-year project to develop a niche training station and related training materials for Eaton, headquartered in Waukesha.
Building the project into their capstone course, the group was father and son Jason Solberg and Tyler Solberg, and classmate Wesley Lidwin. Jason, an automation systems instructor at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), led the group.
Eaton, which manufactures transformers for utility companies and data centers, partners with WCTC to complete on-site training for its employees. Through the partnership, Eaton donated a coil winding machine from its plant to WCTC, allowing Eaton employees to train at the college and providing students with hands-on experience.
