How a course pushed the synchrotron community forward
Working as a particle accelerator engineer at Argonne National Laboratory, Curt Preissner ran into the limits of their design philosophy.
Which is why he and a colleague took the Mechatronics system design – part 1 course at High Tech Institute (HTI). This allowed them to introduce a new design approach into the synchrotron community, and better talk to vendors. “You need to be able to communicate what keeps you up at night.” This Mikroniek article features an interview about the HTI Mechatronics system design course.
