Capstone Projects Team Undergraduates with Company Sponsors
With the increasing need for new talent, especially in engineering, companies are seeking ways to connect with students before they graduate to build relationships that aid in the recruitment process for new engineers and other professionals.
Recommended Practices (RP) Changing Engineering and Supplying of Assemblies
The issue is that assemblies are not currently treated as “engineered” items — they are often produced by slapping the actuator on the old (or new) valve specified by the piping requirements without much understanding of the specifics of the interactions between valve and actuator connections through the drive train (coupling).
