GROUP PROJECT

The final group project is interdisciplinary. The goal of this project is to assemble a decommissioned packaging machine. The students must identify electrical and mechanical systems and assemble them by following schematic diagrams and consulting the manufacturer. Students make missing parts, circuit components, and programming modifications, applying the skills learned during the past two semesters. Finally, students demonstrate the integrated functionality of the machine. Daily activity log and a final report show successes, failures, and lessons learned.  Learned project management basics help students timely completion of the project.
