Keep tasks short enough to do in one class period Break up projects if necessary Machine the components, inspect, fill out inspection report Students that get done early get a break
Loosen up the tolerances The best students will use micrometers
Projects should be fun, have movement, assemble
Let students make what they want somedays Use their own design on parts of projects Some days with no assignments
Many of these students will never run a machine again
Ask myself. How simple can this be? Have the complicated setups done for them Threading w/o releasing the half-nut
Early in the year: Saw the material for them Have speeds and feeds set on the machines Tell them the speeds and feeds Have them Make chips Started on mills with fly-cut blocks
