EWU Department of Technology
Tech 490 Senior Capstone: Production Laboratory
Course Description
The course simulates the real world situation that many of the graduates
from the department will face. The students will work in teams to apply
techniques of production management, product design/development, plant
layout, scheduling, cost accounting, assembly, inspection, and quality
control to produce a product. The course will simulate a real world design
team concept by utilizing a design qroup that contains members of different
program majors. The team, to accomplish its goals, is required to draw
on each other's unique skills. In industry often a design team is formed
to develop a new product. The team is made up of members from different
departments in the company. Learning to deal with the team dynamics while
learning to take advantage of the synergy that can be gained by a diverse
team is a valuable learning process for our business as well as civic life.
Each student team is to produce a new product ( to be massed produced and
demonstrated by producing a minimum quantity of 15 units built with unskilled
labor utilizing jigs, fixtures and/or CNC controlled machines) and create
a final written report to demonstrate how the process and goals of the
course have been realized.
