MECH 2495 - Internship in Mechatronics II

4 sem hrs cr

This course is an internship and designed to apply manufacturing improvement processes in a mechatronics system. Students will apply and report on a combination of basic statistics for improvement, manufacturing teams, process waste, OEE, process capability, continual improvement, fish bone diagrams, kaizen activities, TPM, and basic time study methods.  Prerequisite: Completion of MECH 1310 , MECH 1320 , MECH 1330 , MECH 1340 , MECH 2440 , MECH 2441 , and MECH 2480 .

In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Department Lead for the discipline.

If taken for 4 credit hours, this internship may replace MECH 2490 .

Transfer (UT) or Non-Transfer Course (UN): UN

Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate the ability to…

• analyze and describe basic statistics in quality and process capability of a system.
• describe the process of a continual improvement system and apply to a system project.
• use fishbone diagrams, kaizen activities, and basic time study methods to determine improvement activity on a mechatronic system.
• apply previous class knowledge in a mechatronics system team project.
