Students support a wide variety of Automated Controls and Instrumentation occupations.

 

HOW IT CAN HELP

This program is designed to support a wide variety of Automated Controls and Instrumentation occupations, involving automated systems, instrumentation, measurements, electric motors, controls systems, robotics, mechatronics, and the application of fluid power systems. In addition, this program follows the guidelines of the International Society of Automation, offering related courses that help to support and prepare for the ISA associate CST examination, as an entrance point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This Core Automation will provide the valued skills set required by industries involved in manufacturing, mining, refineries, building automation, renewable energy, and full-on industrial controls systems. The program starts out with a solid foundation of the basic theory, laws, circuits, and fundamentals of AC/DC, solid-state and digital electronics. In addition, the student will learn how to use various test equipment for trouble-shooting and repair of electronic circuits. This course covers electronic components, how they function, and how to test devices. Students learn the skills required of an Automation and Instrumentation Technician to understand, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair modern electronic automated systems. Coverage of industrial data communications is also included, as well as applications, theory and project based programmable logic controllers.

Students have the opportunity for a career in a progressive new field with many diverse job opportunities and excellent entry-level salaries.

HOW IT CAN HELP

The six major NDT methods, radiography, ultrasonics, eddy current, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and visual inspection, are used in a variety of industries including aerospace, petro-chemical, automotive, metals, non-metals, nuclear, marine, electronics, construction, aircraft, materials joining, utilities and many others. Students learn to perform the basic testing techniques on both metals and non-metals, such as synthetics and composites, as well as how to evaluate results and write final reports. Learning will be enhanced through field trips to area businesses and presentations by guest speakers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

During the first two semesters in NDT, the training will focus on basic manufacturing and materials-joining processes, including visual inspection, magnetic particles and liquid penetrant techniques. The third and fourth semesters will include eddy current, radiography and ultrasonics. The third and fourth semesters are dedicated to advanced study of these testing methods as well as computer application in NDT.

The Capstone Design Program matches a team of motivated senior undergraduate mechanical engineering students with an engineering project defined and funded by an industry sponsor

HOW IT CAN HELP

• You advance your project without requiring in-house resources
• You get to know and evaluate students with specific interest in your company
• Your company gains brand awareness with top-tier engineering students

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Capstone Design Program is part of the undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum, and follows a two-semester sequence. The program matches a team of motivated senior undergraduate mechanical engineering students with a multi-disciplinary project defined and funded by an industry sponsor.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

• $17,500 for a team of four to six Engineers for two semesters
• $5,000 is set aside for materials

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Once a project is underway, the sponsor’s primary point of contact will be the project advisor, who is often a Mechanical Engineering Faculty member. An engineer from the industry sponsor is invited to serve as an advisor or co-advisor if they wish.
