Methods of Instruction

Student Work      We sincerely believe that there is no better teacher than experience. Our method of instruction involves lectures and demonstrations, but concentrates on a carefully planned and designed series of bench work projects. These are designed to impart a working knowledge of the most useful and practical techniques that the student will need in actual work experience. The techniques learned in one project aid the student in mastering other more complex techniques in the next. The goal of the curriculum is to ingrain a repertoire of techniques which can be adapted and combined to better solve the problems they will encounter in the marketplace. Challenge and practice creates proficient craftsmen.
