Open-source mechanical test frames have beendesigned to improve on that price point, but are still relatively expensive at $4,000 [1]. Variouscustom made mechanical testers exist, however their fabrication is not formally documented ordetailed.

The Traditional Approach Traditionally, manufacturing engineering and technology courses have been taughtpresenting materials in a sequential manner. these are numerous educational materialsfrom which to select and most instructors were themselves taught in this fashion. theadvantages of this approach are the ability to cover a large amount of material in arelative short period of time and to be sure that a comprehensive approach to coverageis possible. However, the limitations to this traditional approach are many. For example,this approach does not focus on products, which to a large degree is what manufacturingis about. It is left up to the student integrate the various pieces to see how they fittogether. This approach does not
