RMET-255 Mechanical Technology Capstone Project

This course is the culmination of the previous and concurrent course required for the AAS Robotics and Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. Students will be assigned a problem and asked to provide a solution. Most of the necessary information will be provided but some may require the students to do some research, such as a search on the internet. Students will write an engineering report, create presentation materials and present their process plan to an independent review team. The students will present their results in a short presentation to invited faculty, Advisory Board members, and other invited guests.
