SHOP-WORK.
The work in these courses is primarily intended for students having
little or no practical experience, but others are required also to attend them,
individual capabilities and requirements being considered. While in no
sense aiming at the training of craftsmen, the intention is to familiarize
the student with workshop methods and processes, and acquaint him with
the physical properties of engineering materials. The early stages of the
training must necessarily be confined in most cases to simple exercises;
but work having a definite objective is soon undertaken. Opportunity is
then given for progressing a simple machine part, and carrying out the
associated operations of tool dressing, grinding, etc., from its inception in
the drawing office to its completion in the shop.
