DESCRIPTION:The ECE Students from UMU will be participating in a technical 
 visit to Foxconn. Below is a copy of the email sent by a representative fr
 om Foxconn to promote the visit.\n\nWe are presently building electric tra
 ctors for a company named Monarch.\n\nWe are also in negotiations with sev
 eral manufacturers regarding new business opportunities. These are all rel
 ated to Electric Vehicle manufacturing. Some of these products are ride sh
 are vehicles. Others are midsize and full-size delivery vehicles.\n\nIn ou
 r body shop\, we build the entire cab of the vehicle from steel and alumin
 um parts. We place the parts in custom designed mechanical fixtures. We us
 e welding robots to automatically weld the parts together. Then material h
 andling robots pick up the new assembly and move it to the next automation
  station. The next station may automatically dispense adhesive or sealer u
 nder robot control. Then more parts may be added\, and more welding takes 
 place.\n\nAll the robotic welding and sealing is coordinated by Allen Brad
 ley PLCs that communicate to the robots\, weld controllers and sealant sys
 tems.\n\nWe need:\n\n- Mechanical engineers to design and analyze fixture 
 details and subassembly dimensions.\n- Controls engineers to write and adj
 ust PLC programs to control the automation.\n- Electrical engineers to des
 ign and maintain the control circuits and safety systems.\n- Computer Engi
 neers to design\, program and maintain the vision systems\, data collectio
 n equipment and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).\n- Industrial engin
 eers to design\, analyze and improve the production processes.\n\nCo-spons
