Faculty-student effort reduces equipment availability to student ratio by 2:1 or 1:1—increasing hands-on learning time
Yavapai Community College Electrical Engineering Instructor Rick Peters, and student interns Riley Lewis and Scott Blakeley were busy over the summer. Working together, they added to the number of electric motor control trainers and robots in the Electrical Instrumentation Laboratory at the Community College’s Career and Technical Education Center located at the Prescott airport.
According to the College, the new trainer “will continue to lower the equipment to student ratios to 2:1 or 1:1.” Because of the additional trainer boards, students will have access and time to work on them. One consequence is that students leaving CTEC will be better prepared to enter the workforce.
A photo of the electric motor control trainers, which was provided the Governing Board at the September meeting as a part of the Agenda, follows below.
