Students will be provided the opportunity to learn and practice bench work skills such as filing, drilling, tapping, horizontal and vertical band saws, off-hand grinding of cutting tools using the pedestal grinder, and deburring and layout for projects. They will gain valuable practical experience in the use of various hand tools by producing basic bench work projects. Topics will include safety, print reading, job planning, and quality control. For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected.
