Techno, Inc.'s Educational CNC Division recently introduced a new "Basic Manufacturing Skills: An Introduction to CNC Machining" curriculum, available for technology education courses from grades six through college. This unique curriculum comes with a 170-page curriculum workbook and an instructor's CD with all projects, software files and tests ready for customization. All Techno Servo CNC machines come with a free sample copy of the workbook and multiple copies can be added for a complete classroom setup.

"I worked with Dr. George Klein and tried to create a complete Educational resource with this curriculum," says James Renner, sales manager at Techno, Inc. "Not only do we include a history of manufacturing that details the basic evolution of tools, but we include various lessons on both CNC machining technology and the use of leading industry CAM software."

Students using this curriculum will learn the basics of CNC Machining and Mastercam software while creating real-world projects including a jewelry box, picture frame, desktop organizer and coaster set. Instructors will have the opportunity to customize the included tests to reflect their specific classroom strategies and the included example files help demonstrate each of the activities outlined within the workbook. Also available for use with the new "Introduction to CNC Machining" curriculum is Techno's new Intro to Mfg. Curriculum Tool Kit, exclusively designed for those who purchase this package.
