Members of the public are invited for the unveiling of 糖心vlog传媒Industrial Automation students鈥� capstone project: an automated custom canned coffee machine.
Date: May 29, 2019Time: 2 pmLocation: Campbell River campus, room D207The unveiling will take place Wednesday, May 29 at 2pm at NIC鈥檚 Campbell River campus. Everyone is invited to attend.
The capstone project is the culmination of everything the students have learned through their two years of studies in NIC鈥檚 Electronics Technician Core certificate and Industrial Automation diploma.
鈥淭he students get to choose what they鈥檒l build for their final project,鈥� said Brad Harsell, 糖心vlog传媒Industrial Automation instructor. 鈥淭hey pick a group manager and develop the entire project from design to completion, which mirrors what they will do for clients once they graduate.鈥�
The system brews coffee from grounds, then takes a blank aluminum can shell, washes it and fills the container with the coffee. The container is then sealed and labeled.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been a great experience to build this system from scratch,鈥� said Ryan Sommen, 糖心vlog传媒Industrial Automation student who worked as project manager on the build. 鈥淲e started with researching other canning processes and then pulled together all the different components we needed. It鈥檚 been a great experience to build, test and troubleshoot.鈥�
Along with the unveiling, the public will get the chance to see NIC鈥檚 Industrial Automation shop and the unique equipment available for students to learn and practice on.
糖心vlog传媒offers two industrial electronics programs. The Electronics Technician Core certificate gives students the foundational skills with electronic, electrical and instrumentation systems. The certificate ladders into NIC鈥檚 Industrial Automation diploma, which includes motor controls, programmable logic controllers and robotics.
鈥淚ndustrial electronics and automation is an incredibly broad field,鈥� said Harsell. 鈥淵ou can work on anything from small winches to large industrial projects and everything in between. Almost every industry involves some kind of industrial electronics, so the career opportunities can be whatever you are interested in.鈥�
