Student develops a product training and training support plan that might include assessing simulator usage and the potential applicability of new instrumentation. Student participates in a testability analysis to determine the percentage of system faults that can be detected and works with a design team to identify means to improve coverage. Student performs Design For Assembly Analyses aimed at reducing the number of parts and fasteners in an assembly and then adapts the remaining parts for the type of assembly that will be used. Student is responsible for developing a segment of an operational software system using a set of detailed design specifications. Activity might include developing a plan for the software module or unit testing.
Student participates in a facet of improving a production system.
This might involve cell layout, standard work combination development,, and development and assessment of setup time reduction approaches. Design Experiences Design experiences involve translating product requirements into specific solutions with varying degrees of detail using engineering knowledge, computer-based tools, testing, best practices, standards, etc. Student supports the quantitative analysis of alternatives for the purpose of a trade study downselection of a preferred design concept. Student develops rapid prototyping articles as an aid to achieving effective product design and manufacturing process compatibility. Student develops and maintains an interface spreadsheet as an aid to help coordinate the design activities of a collection of integrated product teams working on different subsystems.
