Mechanical Engineering Students- Intern at Kop-Flex!

Kop-Flex Inc., a division of Emerson Electric Co., is a manufacturer of flexible couplings for power transmission applications, and is located very close to the UMBC campus near BWI airport. Kop-Flex offers UMBC students a great opportunity to gain experience in mechanical design and manufacturing, and hires many co-op students for full-time positions after graduation. Currently, 7 of 14 Mechanical Engineers in the Baltimore plant are former co-ops for Kop-Flex.

General duties will include: assisting Product Engineers in the design of mechanical couplings and u-joints used in industrial, power transmission applications; performing rudimentary stress analysis using in-house computer programs; calculating coupling mass elastic data; applying engineering knowledge to modify coupling designs to meet customer specifications; other computer-related duties as assigned. Co-ops will also be expected to interface with our European and Indian engineers, sometimes on a daily basis.

More details below.

To apply please email cmille1@umbc.edu

High Performance Engineering…this co-op engineer will assist the design engineers in creating and drawing new coupling designs to meet customer specifications for high speed turbomachinery (gas turbines, high speed compressors, etc.) used in the petrochemical and oil refining industries, and complete projects designed to improve productivity in the group. The student will interface with customers and sales worldwide to clarify specifications and communicate drawings and data.

Mill Products Engineering… this co-op engineer will assist the design engineers in creating and drawing new coupling designs to meet customer specifications for heavy industrial applications (primarily steel and paper mills, mining, etc), and complete projects designed to improve. The student will interface with customers and sales worldwide to clarify specifications and communicate drawings and data.

Product Development Engineering… this co-op student will support new product development and product improvement projects by assisting the engineers in design of experiments, implementing test plans, developing productivity tools, and coordinating with design engineers worldwide.

Research and Engineering… this co-op will support projects used in the development on new products, improvements of existing products, and failure analysis.

Service Engineering…this co-op will assist with the Service Center in the evaluation, repair and refurbishment of returned couplings for all industrial applications – high speed turbomachinery and heavy industrial applications.

Co-op engineers are expected to possess a basic understanding of machine design principles, as well as introductory engineering knowledge in the areas of stress analysis, mechanics of materials, dynamics, and vibration analysis. They should also be familiar with the use of Microsoft Office and have some familiarity and proficiency with CAD (preferably AutoCAD) as well.

The student will learn basic manufacturing processes, develop the ability to identify and create cost-effective designs, and become familiar with material specifications and applications. Also, the student will learn to communicate with customers and associates, while assisting the company to process day to day work.
