EGR 290

Logan
Major: Electrical Engineering As a co-op of the power systems group on Corteva's Midland site, I was able to learn the engineering behind powering a extremly large chemical site. The largest project I was taked with was updating meter and relay devices for 20 different feeder circuits in two of our switching stations. This invovled updating/creating 120 different electrical drawings, specifically three-line, DC diagram, and connection diagram. In addition, I used a simulation software called ETAP to simulate faults on different parts of each circuit. This allowed us to theorectical see what would happen if a fault occured on one the ciruits, and how to relay would protect the equipment potentially impacted by the fault. I was also able to order parts for this porject, create procedures to turn specific sections of the bus off. I was also, fortunate enough to manage the implementation of one of the circuits I worked on. Unfortunately, in a chemical plant my group isn't allowed to just go turning off chemical processes when we want. It could be months to years before the other circuits I worked on could be implemented. I had other smaller projects that involved other smaller updates to electrical drawings, I was also able to experience some work with PLCs.

Phase 1 is number One

john
Major: Electrical Engineering During the first few weeks, I focused heavily on soldering and modifying circuits for testing purposes. This included learning surface mount soldering for smaller components, primarily 0402 and sometimes 0603. In the subsequent weeks, I participated in building an electromagnetic emissions chamber from scratch. Following that project, I worked on creating protoboards, laying out various components to develop prototypes for multiple projects. One of my tasks included building a test box to verify that our PCBs were outputting the correct voltages under different configurations, as shown in the picture below. My most recent project involves reprogramming and testing 200 devices to troubleshoot an issue a customer has been experiencing. These devices are set to different configurations and tested under various scenarios to replicate and resolve the field issue.

Controls Engineering Co-Op at Adient

Zachary
Major: Electrical Engineering For this semester of my Co-Op, I had several projects. All of these projects were related to PLCs and HMIs. Every PLC and HMI that I worked with was Allen Bradley. One biggest projects that I worked on was updating all of the PLCs to their latest version. This helped the plant be more standardized and allowed IT to support fewer firmware versions. I also got to create screens on HMIs so that operators and maintenance could print test labels out of printers. This was important to help troubleshoot problems with printers. Finally, I also got to write my ladder logic in the PLCs. For this project, I wrote code to send messages to the HMI to display the status of the cell.
