Fall 2012 Mechanical Engineering Co-ops with Emerson
Kop-Flex, operating since 1926, is a division of the Emerson Electric Co. which manufactures flexible rotating couplings for industrial applications. Located just 9 miles from UMBC near BWI, Kop-Flex offers students the opportunity to gain experience in mechanical design and manufacturing. Kop-Flex offers excellent opportunities for advancement, currently 7 of 13 engineers are former co-ops.
Co-ops will work closely with Product Engineers & mentors in the design of mechanical couplings. They will apply engineering knowledge to perform stress analysis, calculate coupling mass elastic data, produce coupling drawings, develop new and innovative products, and manage engineering projects. Project management may provide opportunities to interact with VP’s, managers, and customers. They will have the opportunity to interact with global employees and customers.
Research & Development – Support new product development and product improvement projects. Support product development engineers with design of experiments, implementing testing, and development of productivity tools.
Mill Product – Support design engineers with the design of heavy industrial couplings for steel mills, paper mills, and mining equipment. Support product development to improve coupling designs for heavy industrial couplings.
High Performance – Support engineers with the design of turbomachinery couplings for gas turbines, compressors, motors, and generators. Support product development to improve coupling designs for turbomachinery couplings.
Required Credentials:
Mechanical engineering students, preferably 3rd year students willing to work F/T and take a semester off. Will accept students part-time who can commit to at least 25 hrs per week.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received - apply early for best consideration.
Requested Skills:
Preferably co-ops have an understanding of mechanical design, stress analysis, materials, and vibration analysis. Individuals should posses and demonstrate proficiency with Microsoft Office and CAD software (AutoCAD is preferred).
Recommended completed courses: ENES 101 (Introduction to Engineering Science), ENME 110 (Statics), ENME 204 (Introduction to Design w/ CAD), ENME 220 (Mechanics of Materials), ENME 221 (Dynamics), ENME 304 (Machine Design)
