The saw end of the handle was prepared by cutting a slot anddrilled to accommodate the screws; the frame end of the handle was then drilled to accommodatethe 3/16 inch aluminum r rivetsSupplemental Activities on Casting the Handle: (a) The students were asked to determine the time it took for the molten metal to fill the mold, something they learned in the theory classes using Bernoulli’s equation for fluid flow. (b) Although no risers were used, the students were asked to design risers based on Chvorinov’ rule as outlined in the lecture class. (c) The students were asked to calculate the

The journal should also include log of thestudent's activities and a collection of thoughts and insights gained from the activities. Thejournal may contain any on-the-job issues or problems and related solutions or courses of actiontaken. A final report is also mandatory. This is above and beyond the weekly journal.

"I hear and I forget. Isee and I remember. I do and I understand" was preached by the famous teacher and philosopherConfucius (551–479 BCE) during Spring-Autumn period of Chinese history. Leighbody andKidd also concluded "learning requires active experiences" in their survey3.Nowak4 ranked teaching strategies and learning activities within technology education.

These two rules are summarized in Article 240-21 (b) Feeder Taps in the 2011 NEC. Othersections amplify the tap rule for taps supplying transformers and for conductors outside thecontrol panel. The rules should be read carefully and applied for all electrical installations. Thetap rules allow for distribution of electrical power in a control panel in a practical yet safemanner.
