PLC Manual

I updated a PLC manual for the next upcoming Fall semester (Fall 2014).

Fluid Power Lab Manual

 

I made improvements in the Fluid Power Lab Manual and added several new labs (Summer 2014).

Steel Identification from spark impacts

 

I worked on an UGROW project summer 2014 together with the student Daniel Goodey and Mr. Mark Weller on

 the project “Steel identification  using the spark impacts on a ceramic substrate using a thermal imaging camera

and other identification methods"..
