South Piedmont Community College issued the following announcement on Sept. 2.
Congratulations to Dr. John Meng for publishing his first textbook, "Introduction to Automation & Robotics." The textbook is available to students in our bookstore and will be used
for ATR 112 and other mechatronic courses. John is the Program Lead for Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. He has been with the college since 2018. Although English is
not his first or even second language, the book was written and published in English. John's native language is Chinese and after moving to Germany, he learned the language
there before moving to the US. One of John's favorite memories at SPCC is when a student asked him for a job reference and he got the call from the student saying they got the
job. Outside of the classroom, John loves jogging and running. He typically jogs around 400 miles a year all over the world including Paris, Geneva, Valencia, London, Amsterdam,
Hong Kong and many other places.
