Omron to Support Engineering Education with Donation to Southeast Missouri State University

Omron furthers its commitment to education and community impact by empowering future innovators at SEMO.

The Omron Foundation reinforced its commitment to fostering educational excellence through a donation to Southeast Missouri State University. This initiative equips the Department of Engineering and Technology with Omron automation technology and enhances the engineering program by providing students with hands-on experiences using the latest industry automation system.

“Through this partnership, we aim to further enhance the educational experiences of our students by putting a wider variety of automation tools in their hands to better prepare our graduates to meet the demands of the industry,” said Dr. Brad Deken, Chair of the Department of Engineering and Technology. “Omron’s support enables us to offer a more dynamic, technology-driven education.”

Omron’s commitment to educational development and community support aligns with its mission to improve lives and build a better society. With a network of local manufacturers, students will gain valuable knowledge and experience in Omron technology. This allows students to gain practical, hands-on experience, preparing them for real-world challenges and enhancing their career readiness.

“As a former student and now an employee at Omron, I’ve experienced firsthand the immense benefits of integrating real-world technology into our learning processes. Leading the partnership initiative has allowed me to give back to the program that shaped my career, ensuring that future students have even greater opportunities for success,” said Rajitha Dissanayake, Omron applications engineer.
