Original Grant Overview

Goal

Teach students proper electrical/wiring repair techniques while simultaneously manufacturing their own electrical diagnostic tools to serve them in their careers. After learning how to create their own tools, they will also learn how to properly use them for the desired testing. 

 

What will be done with my students

The students will cut wires and solder proper connections to safely create fused jumpers and testing circuits that will aid them throughout their careers. 

 

Benefits to my students

The lessons learned will benefit them in multiple ways.

-creative problem solving required to diagnose difficult problems
-learn proper equipment usage and wire repair techniques
-the tools created will serve them for many years 

 

Budget Narrative

These tools and materials are mostly single use with the exception of the irons and the holding base. The expendable materials will allow for potentially two years worth of testing and learning.
