Abstract/Summary
At California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, students from all majors can take a variety of classes in the BioResource and Agriculture Engineering Department (BRAE). It is essential for future high school mechanics educators to learn the basic shop tools and the importance of safety in the laboratory. In shop 1 of the BRAE Department, there are many different tools students will find in a mechanics classroom. The five main power tools are the Table Saw, Drill Press, Bench Grinder, Radial Arm Saw, and Disk/Belt Sander.
In BRAE 121 Agricultural Mechanics, students learn basic shop skills about lab safety and proper tool usage. From time to time the instructor gives directions on how to use particular tools in order to be safe. But, with busy schedules and unexpected events, students may miss a tutorial on how to use a particular machine. Students need alternative resources to easily get caught up on how to safely use shop equipment and this project will create a safety video for future BRAE Lab 1 use.
