SUMMARY:Mechanical Fabrication
DESCRIPTION:BCS306; One session\, 3-days \nRegistration required. MUST be 18 years of age with a verifiable address in the Rio Grande Valley. \n\n\n\nTrainees focus on the safe and proper application of basic hand tools used in mechanical fabrication assembly.  This course covers industry-relevant mechanical fabrication skills from basic to more sophisticated power tools\, including skills ranging from using c-clamps\, vises\, and pliers\, to more advanced torque tools\, torque wrenches\, and power tools. Students learn about the many types of bolts\, wrenches and other fittings commonly used in industry and how to properly apply them. This includes pneumatic fabrication fittings.  The Mechanical Fabrication hands-on training is performed on a workstation\, precision fabrication parts set\, mechanical fabrication tool set\, standard parts set\, component kit\, skills part kit\, tool kit\, hardware kit\, and bolt stretch kit.\n\n\n\n Notify Me

SUMMARY:Kata In the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:SES600-1; One session\, 1-day \nRegistration required.  \nKata in the Classroom (KIC) is a hands-on exercise to introduce the scientific pattern of the Improvement Kata in school classrooms. It is targeted at Middle School Science teachers\, but is used in a variety of K-12 and even College educational settings. Kata in the Classroom involves the activity of assembling a 15-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle several times\, and experimenting with ways to do it faster.   \nThe KIC exercise combines a practical scientific pattern (the “Improved Kata”) with techniques of deliberate practice\, to help make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. Teams of students (a) establish a baseline\, (b) face a Challenge\, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to the Challenge and (d) conduct experiments toward that Target Condition. While the students are engaged in a challenging game they are simultaneously being introduced to a scientific meta skill. KIC helps teach universal STEM skills for achieving challenging goals along uncharted paths: (1) Scientific and Creative Thinking – generate and refine solutions to obstacles through experimentation (2) Collaboration – work in a team to accomplish a next goal on the way to a larger challenge (3) Communication – organize thoughts\, data & findings\, and share them effectively.   \n Register

SUMMARY:Quick Change Over (SMED)
DESCRIPTION:MAP007; One session\, 1-day \nRegistration required. MUST be 18 years of age with a verifiable address in the Rio Grande Valley. \n\n\n\nQuick Changeover and Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) Overview is a course designed to help manufacturing employees learn about techniques that reduce process changeover times from one product to another. Specific techniques are discussed to reduce equipment down time (waiting waste) due to the changeover process resulting in greater productivity and throughput. Examples are shown to speed up alignment of fixtures and methods are discussed to achieve changeover times on machines to less than 10 minutes (SMED).\n\n\n\n Notify Me
