Draw sketches of components on the board, use textbooks and internet resources to show them the pictures and videos of components either in good condition or those that have failed during normal operations or in service. 2. Bring real components (whether failed or in good condition) as educational aids to the classroom. This is not always possible as some components may be heavy to carry. Page 22.924.6 3.
