Task/ Project Assignment

1.1 Data Collection

Assist engineers to collect data from machine to determine

the specific position of component placement machine for

every particular product. It is important to know the

position in order to track specific misalignment when

problems arose.

1.2 Defects Sorting (Quality Issue)

Assist engineers to sort out the defected or rejected units

for further investigation in order to determine the root

causes during the production process. All data of

production process from every machine are uploaded to

server for problems tracking purposes. It will help

engineers to know which machine are went wrong when

problems arose.

1.3 5Ms + E Method(Problem Solving)

In my entire internship, I have learnt about engineers

applied the 5 Ms + E Method to break down (in successive

layers of detail) root causes that potentially contribute to a

particular effect. Common uses of the fishbone diagram are

product design and quality defect prevention to identify

potential factors causing an overall effect. Each cause or

reason for imperfection is a source of variation. Causes are

usually grouped into major categories to identify these

sources of variation. The categories typically include man,

methods, machines, materials, measurements and

environment.

1.4 Emergency Response during Black Out

There is a standard procedure and Emergency Respond

Team to ensure all the employees are evacuated safely

during emergency or black out. The evacuation flow is

smooth and safe with the assistance of the emergency

respond team.

Control (SPC) chart based on the production’s data in order

to ensure the specific product are produce according to

respective specifications in a control limit.

1.6 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Printing Tools

Assist engineers to design and build up a printing tool’s

operation simulation slides by using Microsoft Power Point

in order to help out operators in training before getting

familiar in operating the actual machine.

1.7 Organizing Team Building for Module/ Department

Assist Module Group Leader to organize and make

arrangement of the team building event for the module

engineers in order to build up the team spirit among each

other.

1.8 Troubleshooting of problems

Assist engineers to trace the problems of machine and

determine the root cause of the problems with the method

of Design of Experiment (DOE) and “5M + E” method.

Conclusion

It is great to learn and experience the real industrial working life

through my internship program. Intel Corporation has provided a strong

platform for me to explore and practice the basic theory that I have learnt in

university. Throughout these 10 weeks of internship, I gained the

opportunity to understand more about the life and job scopes of engineers in

reality. There are many challenging issues day in and day out, but the issues

will not wipe out my passionate in engineering field, as I believe challenges

are opportunity to be better.

During the Industrial Training Program, I had the chance to learn more

about the production process in semi-conductor industry. Moreover, I was

given a chance to apply the knowledge of quality control by doing Statistical

Process Control to sustain and maintain the production to be aligned with

the specification of respective products. All of these allow me to have an

insight of an Assembly Engineer’s job and I manage to widen my perspective

about an engineer’s job.

Apart from that, I was also given the chance to brush up the soft skill such as

communication skills and team work spirit. I was required to communicate

with different level of colleagues such as managers, senior engineers,

engineers and operators. In addition, I have to work in a team with other

engineers to solve problems and generate ideas when problems arise too. In

short, my entire internship had allowed me to expose to the real industrial

working life and get the chance to hands on with machines.
