September 6th | CNC Laser cutter and plasma cutter orientation 2:30 – 5:00 pm. This will cover teaching expectations for the CNC Laser. These training sessions are required for anyone that will be instructing students on use of this equipment where the students will be required to use the equipment. However, any graduate student or faculty member is welcome to join. These sessions are not hands on training (if that is required, it can be offered at a later time) but do cover a lot of useful information. These sessions are offered so that we can document to the university that instructors have been given the knowledge required to teach students how to safely access our equipment. Individuals are still required to gain proficiency with these pieces of equipment on their own time. I am happy to work one-on-one with any instructors that feel the need to improve their proficiency on the equipment. |
