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 inner workings of the strain wave gear principle.

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

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.

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 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.
