MOTIVATION

In the fall of 1998 a ME student suggested that the ME curriculum needed a course which taught how basic machines/machine components work.  In addition, the class was also designed to teach/provide the following:

1. Hands on Experience:
        No "black boxes" everything is hands on

2. Visualization & communication skills
        Basic sketching & practice at technical explanation

3. Confidence in applying theory
        Calculations dealing with machines being worked on

4. Understanding magnitudes of physical quantities
        1 Newton = an apple,  0.005" = thicness of piece op paper, etc...
