IE72 SREB AC Applications in Automated Materials Joining Honors
| Course Number | IE72 |
| Course Title | SREB AC Applications in Automated Materials Joining Honors |
| Course Description | Building on the concepts learned in SREB AC Introduction to Automated Materials Joining, students engage in more complex materials science applications beginning with a reverse engineering project. Students disassemble and analyze a product to determine how they might improve its performance. Heat is applied to materials to change their molecular structure and LabVIEW is used to measure the changes. Different joints are explored and tested using filler metals. Students collaborate to create an automated quality control vision system to govern placement in an automated assembly system. They learn how to write quality engineering reports that communicate the process used and detail their findings. Students sharpen their skills by presenting to authentic audiences. Students learn how to collaborate within diverse teams, manage projects, think critically, document research, write reports and communicate results to authentic audiences. Further, students apply science, literacy, mathematics and technical skills to effectively solve challenging real-world problems with business and industry partners. |
