But the easiest way to think aboutCNC is to simply understand that it is all about using a computer as a means to control a machinethat carves useful objects from solid blocks of material. Traditional CNC machines areexpensive, complicated, and typically only found in large manufacturing companies that canafford them. Small hobbyist CNC machines can run anywhere from $7,000 and higher;professional machines can cost

In these cycles, fuel is fed to a conventional gas turbine that is usuallyconnected to an electrical generator. The exhaust gas from the gas turbine contains a largeamount of usable thermal energy. In a COGAS system, this thermal energy is used to producesteam, and the steam is used to generate additional electrical energy. The thermal efficiency ofCOGAS systems can approach 60%, which makes them

Its operation based on bending of a steel beam, fits perfectly withthe course theme. Spreadsheet software is extensively used in this course for recording andanalyzing data during the experiments and the design projects.In the first experiment, the concepts of Factor of Safety and failure and the related effects of loadand material properties are introduced in terms of an uncertainty factor. One of the main reasonsfor the use of the Factor of Safety is demonstrated based on the variability of material properties.Examples of poor designs in the "real world" which resulted in some famous
