      Motor Assignment

      Available but not shown on course page
      Not published to students

      In class we looked at a circuit that activated a motor. Your assignment is to

      make the motor: speed up, slow down, and switch to reverse. Research and play with the circuit, and tell me

      how you accomplished this...

      You only have to write enough to explain how you completed the above task.

      For example, you can submit screen shots of the motor's (revolutions per minute) RPM to illustrate the requested tasks. This allows me to see how the motor behaved, but again, I need a write-up on how you executed the tasks.

      Industrial Robots Safety Paper

      Available but not shown on course page
      Not published to students

      Safety is important when operating automation and industrial robotics. But why should it be such an important focus? Please write a two page paper (using the template provided) discussing safety when working with industrial robotics and automation. 

      You will need to use a minimum of three academic references – please consider using the IEEE Spectrum or ACM Digital Library for your sources (accessible through the BSC Library). You can also go to https://spectrum.ieee.org/ and search there. You may use sources in addition to these, but a minimum of three must be academic (not wikipedia). You may include images in your paper (please be sure to cite the source), but make sure you only include a reasonable amount.

      You may find the CAC resource guide within the library to be helpful: http://libguides.bsc.edu/cac/home. 


      Specifications
      Length: 2 pages
      Format: Please use the paper template provided on Moodle. It is posted immediately before this assignment.
      Paper sections: Abstract, Introduction, Current Risk Factors, Safety Standards and Controls, Discussion, Conclusion, References
      Reference format: ACM or APA


      The Introduction section should include the following information: 

      • An overview of industrial robots
      • A short discussion of how and where these robots are used
      • The benefits of automation in the industrial robotics industry 


      The Current Risk Factors section should include the different types of risks that people working in the automation and industrial robotics industry face today, and how these risks can affect personal health.


      The Safety Standards And Controls section of your paper should share any current industry  standards and controls used to keep workers safe. It should also describe the significance of adhering to these current industry standards.


      Discussion and Conclusion sections can be combined into one section if necessary. Include your personal perspective on the benefits of focusing on safety, and what improvements could be considered for future automation and robotics safety issues.
