Hands-on: Challenges in a summer of industrial immersion

Abstract

This document describes the experience acquired by applying several challenges in the Company Bohn Mexico. The challenges are related to the Automation and Control area. This project provides the opportunity for Mechatronics students to work in a total immersion course in summer, solving real problems. The student team, with the support of the academic mentors and the company's engineers, investigate the problems, propose solutions and implement them. In the final evaluation, they present their results before a committee made up of managers and mentors of the company. This way of working that involves students directly with the industry creates a win-win relationship for students, professors and companies.
