ABSTRACT
An important part of any design process is the repeated iterative adaption cycle
necessary in which a plan is adjusted to make it work. This important aspect of engineering is
not often emphasized in a curriculum because students must master a large number of design
techniques and actually implementing designs is both time-consuming and expensive. Since
metal-cutting processes are fundamental for industrial engineers, a compact, inexpensive
CNC workstation can be used to allow students to gain experience in this important aspect of
engineering.
