Siemens Technik Akademie (STA) Berlin held a one-week System Approach Paradigm Week course in connection with the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Program (SMSCP). This course marks over a dozen Instructor Certification events conducted over the past three years, both in the US as well as in Berlin, Germany, where over 70 instructors from six countries have participated. 14 teachers from Kentucky, Virginia and Denmark participated in this event, and 2 college administrators. All colleagues worked hard during the daily/evening sessions, and when there was a little free time they participated in activities such as visiting one of Berlin's largest and most popular Christmas markets.
