Mondragon Unibertsitatea and the Mondragon Corporation awarded prizes for end-of-degree projects carried out in the Basque language in its fourteenth edition
Iker Zurutuza Etxaide and Usue Casado Lozano with their projects for MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY and GSR have been the winners respectively.
The prizes for the best end-of-degree projects carried out in Basque were awarded today at the MONDRAGON Corporation's facilities in the Otalora Palace. Two projects from Mondragon Unibertsitatea were awarded prizes. The winner of the first prize was Iker Zurutuza Etxaide, a student on the Degree in Industrial Electronics Engineering, with the work carried out for MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY "STANDARDIZATION OF THE PROGRAMMING OF SOLAR PANEL PRODUCTION LINES" and she received a prize of 1500 euros. The winner of the second prize was Usue Casado Lozano, student of the Business Administration and Management degree, with the project carried out for GRS "RISK MANAGEMENT PSICHOSOCIAL RISKS IN THE COMPANY GSR S.COOP". In this case, the prize was 500 euros.
These awards were created as an initiative of the MONDRAGON Corporation's Basque Commission fourteen years ago with the aim of ensuring that the end-of-studies projects undertaken by Mondragon Unibertsitatea students as they enter the world of work are developed in Basque. The MONDRAGON Corporation had this challenge in its Strategic Plan and in 2010 set up a working group made up of people from both the Corporation and the Faculties to set up this award. The jury, made up of two representatives from each faculty, one representative from the Corporation and two representatives from Emun, analysed all the projects carried out in the Corporation's companies that were presented for the award.
In total, 837 projects were carried out in the Faculty of Business Studies, the Engineering Faculty and the Humanities and Education Sciences faculty at Mondragon Unibertsitatea, of which 162 were in Basque, 22,3%. In the MONDRAGON co-operatives 199 projects were carried out, 61 of which were in Basque 32,7% (20% last year). All the projects presented were of a high technical level and the most outstanding projects were the best written in Basque.
The jury was made up by: Eneko Bidegain and Asier Irizar, from the Faculty of Humanities and Education SciencesRafael Altuna and Mireia Uribetxebarria from the Faculty of Business Studies; Xabier Arrasate and Pedro Urteaga, from the Engineering Faculty, a representative of the MONDRAGON Corporation, Ander Etxeberria and two representatives of Emun, Abel Irizar and Koldo Urrestarazu. After a thorough analysis of the projects, the jury agreed on the scores and selected the winners.
Award Winners
First prize:Iker Zurutuza Etxaide (Engineering Faculty)
Title of the project: Standardization of the programming of solar panel production lines.
Summary:
The objective of this final degree project is the standardization of solar panel production lines. The process has been divided into different phases, starting with the programming and simulation of the line, continuing with its real implementation and fine-tuning, and ending with the documentation of the process for future projects. To this end, the student has been involved in the real Meyer Burger project, in which he has been involved from the beginning to the end. In order to carry out this work, TwinCAT 3 applications were used for programming, Visual Components Professional for simulation, iX Developer for the human-machine interface and Easy Starter for the start-up of the lines. In this context, TwinCAT 3 acts as the central core, connecting and coordinating the functions of the other three applications.
Scond prize:Usue Casado Lozano (BusinessFaculty)
Títle of the project:Lean improvement in the assembly process of vertical grinding machine.
