On August 24, 2026, K29 students majoring in Mechatronics continued their enterprise-based training program at ETEK with the specialized session “Quality Assurance at the Source – Part 1”, delivered by expert Le Chi Quan from Quality Productivity Solutions Co., Ltd.
The training session introduces students to an important aspect of modern manufacturing: quality should not simply be inspected at the end of the production line but should be built into and controlled throughout the production process from the source.
In modern manufacturing, product quality is not determined solely by final inspection. An effective production system needs to identify and control potential sources of defects throughout the process.
Through the “Quality Assurance at the Source” module, K29 students are introduced to a proactive approach to quality management, focusing on identifying factors that may affect product quality and controlling them directly at each stage of the production process.
This approach helps students better understand the relationship between production processes, machine design, operations, automation, and product quality.
For future Machine Design and Automation Engineers, understanding quality is an essential professional competency.
An automated machine must not only operate reliably but also consistently produce outputs that meet defined technical and quality requirements. Therefore, quality considerations need to be integrated into the design, operation, and optimization of the overall production system.
The training helps K29 students develop systems thinking, enabling them to look at quality from the perspective of the entire production process rather than focusing solely on the final output.
Learning directly from an industry expert also provides students with valuable insights into how quality principles are applied in real manufacturing environments.
The participation of expert Le Chi Quan from Quality Productivity Solutions Co., Ltd. brings practical industry perspectives into the enterprise-based training program.
Through specialized learning sessions, K29 students are able to strengthen not only their technical knowledge but also key professional competencies such as analytical thinking, defect prevention, problem identification, and manufacturing problem-solving.
These capabilities provide an important foundation for students preparing to enter the modern industrial workforce after graduation.
Through its enterprise-based training approach, ETEK continues to connect education with industry by giving students opportunities to engage with practical technologies, production processes, and professional engineering practices.
The “Quality Assurance at the Source – Part 1” session represents another step in K29’s training journey, contributing to the development of future professionals in Mechatronics, Machine Design, and Industrial Automation.
By combining academic foundations with industry-oriented training, ETEK aims to help students become engineers who are not only technically capable but also ready to understand and solve real-world manufacturing challenges.
