The Systems Approach class has opened my eyes to the ways things work, and the way thing will work.
Here is a quick synopsis of the things learned in System's Approach:
From the Micro to the Macro level we discussed several aspects of the history of Industry, it's current form, and where it is moving to.
We discussed the three pillars of sustainability and the effects that holding one pillar higher than another can have on an economy, country and even the entire world.
We learned about the different Operator, Technician and Engineer roles and what their futures look like in Industry 4.0
Systems Approach
After looking at Industry we looked at Systems Approach and how it is applied to virtually all systems both simple and complex.
We learned how to look at a system, and break it down into Components, and Modules
We looked at the different ways systems talk with themselves and achieve complex tasks.
We learned about the tools used to map out these realtions that a system uses, as well as read the to trouble shoot systems. These Tools include PWC/EMI charts, Sequential Function and Flow Charts, and Displacement Step Diagrams
We broke-down a simple at home system and applied the concepts we learned toa paper shredder.
In the Manufacturing section of the System's Approach Course we observed two of the front line operator roles in manufacturing industry: The Saw Operator and the CNC Mill Operator
We even got some hands-on time with the saw and CNC-mill
I feel very fortunate to have found the world of Mechatronics, I feel as though the concepts come to me with relative ease and I find them boundlessly interesting.
I now see the world being rife with possibilities that i can apply what I am learning about. One of the best pieces of advice I have received so far is to start writing my ideas down.
This topic is the future and to be versed in how it works will become an invaluable skill in the future.
