Another job search engine: Indeed.com Recommended search: Electro-Mechanical Technician, Electrical/Electronic Technician, Automation Technician, PLC Technician, Controls Technician and Maintenance Technician. The latter is a bit of a dated term and many times include positions not applicable, but you can sometime get some good hits with the term. Here is an posting for Stanley Black & Decker for a Data Enablement Technician. This is a new term apparently being used for Industry 4.0 and IIoT technician positions.

We will then turn the discussion to your Advanced Automation Project.

The E.E.T. Advisory Board Meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 10th @ noon. The presentation of these projects begins the meeting. The meeting then commences around 12:30. That will give each group approximately 10 minutes to present and demonstrate their project.

TENTATIVE: In addition to the project you will be demonstrating in Room 116, one member of your team should staff a "Project Presentation Day" event most likely to be held on the 7th floor of Building 2. For this presentation it is expected that your group will have created a tri-fold presentation board showing the key aspects of your team's project. A video of the project in operation makes for a good presentation as well. Check out these links for ideas:
