A Guide to Mechanical Engineering - Thursday, 4th Period

[notagoose]

It took Goose a while to remember that he had a class later in the day this session but he did in fact remember when his class was and turned up on time.

“Welcome to A Guide to Mechanical Engineering,” Goose nodded to the class, “I thought for our first class we would start with introductions and then for our first practical we will work on making a Coil Winding Machine, to start getting a feel for machines and it’s a good introduction to automation,” Goose explained.

“So I’m Shane Gooseman, most people call me Goose,” he said, “however it is fine if you would rather call me Shane or Mr. Gooseman instead,” he paused, “I’m from West Australia, 2107 and I serve with the Series 5 Galaxy Rangers where I do a lot of engineering work for the team,”

Mostly because he had damaged the machines in the first place and that’s why they needed fixing but he wasn’t going to mention that fact.

Work on making your own Coil Winding Machines from the moddable supplies at hand.

Alara was trying to be very careful with setting up her machine and for the most part she was mostly able to follow the steps that she had to.

She had a bit of trouble getting the cardboard into place but she only ended up squashing a couple of the pieces so that was pretty good progress for her.

A knowledge of things like this was actually going to be incredibly helpful to Graham one day in his career, and so, even though he didn't necessarily know that, he was hunkered down over the project as he put it carefully together.

You could tell just how hard he was working on it, too, by the way his tongue was poking one of the corner of his mouth just a little from the concentrated effort.

Dwight looked at the pile of materials for a moment and tried to figure out where to start first. As he worked he got a little more confident, especially as he saw the thing start to come together and look, more or less, the way it was supposed to!
