The learner will gain an understanding of the inner workings of the cycloidal gear drive while watching a video and listening to an explanation of its features.

The learner will understand the design of a planetary gear drive and its advantages and disadvantages.

In this screencast, learners examine the concept of gear ratios. The number of teeth, diameters, and velocity relationships are discussed and calculated using linear ratio equations.

Learners read an analogy comparing an electrical transformer to mechanical gears.

The learner will understand the inner workings of the strain wave gear principle.

In this interactive object, learners view various components of gears and read descriptions of them. Learners then identify the location of each of these components in a drag-and-drop exercise.

This project gives a drawing with steps to complete the activity.

Learners examine strategies for evaluating new ideas and accepting change. They consider a list of various reactions to change and a list of actions that enhance teamwork, and check those statements that apply to themselves.

This project gives a drawing with steps to complete the activity.

The learner will examine strategies for evaluating new ideas and accepting change that will enhance teamwork.

In this interactive and animated object, learners examine orthographic projection and the Glass Box Theory. Front, side, and top view development is demonstrated with pictorial views of each object to help develop 2D to 3D visualization skills.

In this learning activity you'll discover how the visual perception concept influences your understanding of unstable figures.

In this video, you’ll learn how to make changes to an engine lathe.

In this animated object, learners examine an analog closed-loop feedback system that uses potentiometers to control the position of a gear rack.

Learners view a heijunka box and read how this tool is used for scheduling production in a pull system.

In this animated object, learners examine a closed-loop feedback system that uses digital circuits to control the position of a gear rack.

Learners consider whether to lease or purchase equipment based on return on investment. This activity is geared toward operators of a dairy farm. Two pages contain audio.

Learners develop 3D visualization skills by examining front, side, and top orthographic views of objects. Using this information, students select the corresponding isometric view of each object.

In this interactive object, learners practice their 3D visualization skills by identifying the correct isometric view of an object. Front, side, and top orthographic views are shown.
