ENGI 462 Engineering Technology Capstone II

Capstone (part 2) emphasizes the execution and implementation of the project process for an approved project. Students put into motion an approved project plan.

The Industrial Engineering Technologist focuses on improving quality and operations through creative solutions. The Industrial Engineering Technologist is a leader in the business side of technology, project flow, process improvement, and quality control. Furthermore, he or she determines the most effective ways to utilize information, machines, and people with the aim of eliminating waste of energy, materials, and time to save company resources. The Industrial Engineering Technology (IET) Capstone is a two-course sequence that integrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the IET degree program. The sequence consists of ENGI 461, Engineering Technology Capstone I, and ENGI 462, Engineering Technology Capstone II.

After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

In order to get off to a good start, it is imperative that each member of the team aggressively takes the initiative to fulfill his or her team and individual roles and responsibilities. To facilitate this, this assignment provides guidance and instructions intended to make team formation as efficient as possible.

Once the project team is identified and organized and the client and project are identified, the next step is to create a project plan to accomplish the project goal. This involves identifying the project scope, schedule, and cost and creating a project file. This assignment provides guidance and instructions intended to make project initiation and planning as efficient as possible.

At the conclusion of each phase of the Industrial Engineering Technology Capstone II DMAIC process (approximately every two weeks), a report will be required documenting the activities performed and the results achieved. This report will be used to keep the external client and the course instructor informed as to the progress being made to achieve a solution to the client’s need and allow for feedback, encouragement, correction, and counsel as appropriate.

At the midpoint and again near the end of the Industrial Engineering Technology Capstone II DMAIC course, an oral presentation will be required to document the activities performed and the results achieved. This presentation will be used to keep the external client and the course instructor informed as to the progress being made to achieve a solution to the client’s need and allow for feedback, encouragement, correction, and counsel as appropriate in a real-time manner.

On six (6) occasions during the Industrial Engineering Technology Capstone II course (approximately every 2-3 weeks), the student will be asked to engage in a period of personal reflection centered around the three elements of Surprise, Frustration, and Failure, reflect on what the student and his or her team has done since the previous reflection, and discuss how he or she personally dealt with each situation compared to how a mature Christian would have responded. The student will summarize his or her thoughts by reflecting on the lessons that he or she has learned and how the lessons learned will guide the student going forward.
