Summer Work – Advanced Manufacturing school students

Click on the link below for a copy of the summer work assigned to the Advanced Manufacturing school students during Final Exam week.

Remember to do all the ODD problems except those that are crossed out.

I will periodically post answers to even problems and some of the odd problems.

Show your work and circle answers.    NEATLY.  If a problem asks you to explain that means to give a written explanation, which can include numerical examples.
