, and misalignment of machine tool elements.Geometric errors are also affected by the thermal state of the machine tool structure. Henceprocess and structural factors affecting part accuracy in machining processes are quitecomplicated. CNC machine tools only minimizes a small portion of these errors since CNC oftendoes not utilize sensor data to compensate for geometric-thermal errors and errors generated bythe cutting process. Therefore, we must provide our students, through our curriculum, with anadequate level of expertise through new programs, courses and support laboratories.This paper is focused on description of new laboratory modules, teaching materials, practicalexperiments and projects developed as an integrated educational

TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters.

Further, readyaccess to (a) electronic components (e.g., through research laboratories, the parts shop, or thelaboratory support staff), (b) corroborating benchtop laboratory equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes,multimeter, and spectrum analyzers), and (c) other students is a disincentive to leave the confinesof the engineering environment and work at home. Therefore, to realistically gauge theeffectiveness of this teaching approach, the instructors may need to mandate at-home workduring the next offering of this course.Regarding the Topical Learning Experiences, the self-reported learning that occurred wasmoderate across the board for all topical categories.
