These demands together with the complex logistics andtime restriction associated with third level education encourage the adoption of a‘product’ model to machine tool training. With the inevitable shift from the information(left-brain dominant) age to a more conceptual age where additional aptitudes arenecessary, pedagogy must evolve to ensure continued growth1.The pedagogical design discussed in this paper incorporates a novel application of dataacquisition software to support students’ knowledge
