while also minimizing the student time required to prototype and test multi-axismotion control. Initial prototyping of the modular block indicates the design is both economicand functional for educational use.The educational impact of this paper focuses on CNC technology use in the Introduction to Me-chanical Engineering course in which freshman students interact with the desktop CNC machinesto complete hands-on projects several times during a semester. Weekly student surveys indicatethat these hands-on, project-based CNC learning activities have a strong positive effect on stu-dent motivation.1.0 IntroductionComputer numerical control (CNC) is a relatively mature method that forms the foundation of avariety of modern manufacturing technologies
