Reaching the next generation through STEM is critical to domestic #machining. We enjoyed Wednesday's Lab-in-a-Box teacher training with Roane State Community College! Teachers from around East Tennessee will bring the ACE air engine to their schools so students can learn more about machining.
Terrific! Keep going ACE!
We all have a power inside of us to change the world. As we continue to celebrate 10,000 America's Cutting Edge online course registrations, we're sharing this video breaking down how it all adds up. But remember - every number represents people and their stories. Those stories are constantly being written. What's yours? What will your next word, paragraph or chapter look like? Will you change the world with your story? More on this milestone 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZD4QEEa Write your next chapter with ACE 👉 https://lnkd.in/eufz7YMH
Ready...set...go! We're off to the races at America's Cutting Edge! A new model for some of our newer partner organizations means that they'll start training participants quicker. How is that possible? Check out the story to see how!

If you can't be in a machine shop, you might as well be fishing! Lucky for David Roberson, workforce trainer for ACE, he gets to do both in pursuit of #manufacturing #storytelling. We can't wait to see what VEMOD creates with two days of video production with David and Tony Schmitz. Margaret Slattery, Christine Gallagher Schmitz, Jakub Blank
For today's #MachiningMonday, we're exploring #metrology again! What's the difference between the true value and measured value of an object? Tony Schmitz, ACE curriculum developer, has that answer below. Got it? Now, join the 1,200 others who've registered for our online metrology course and get an edge in your #machining career. https://lnkd.in/g_xSrRQP

Given that I've been discussing measurements for the past two days at our ACE metrology boot camp, let’s talk about measurement uncertainty. Each time we perform a measurement, there is uncertainty in the measurement result. A complete presentation of a measurement result therefore includes the associated uncertainty. The figure relates important terms. The result of the measurement is labeled as the measured value. The true value, which may be different than the measured value and is not known, is also identified. The difference between these two is the error, which we also don’t know! We assign an uncertainty to the measurement based on our engineering knowledge (e.g., manufacturer information) or statistical methods (i.e., repeated measurements). The uncertainty interval encompasses a range of values around the measured value. We believe that the true value lies within the uncertainty interval with a stated level of confidence. If you'd like to learn more about metrology in manufacturing environments and evaluating measurement uncertainty, register for our online, no-cost ACE metrology course. https://lnkd.in/dWnixj6c #metrology #education
"If you can't measure it, you can't make it." From a clockmaker to a kinesiologist to a 14-year-old celebrating his birthday with us, #metrology bootcamp participants this week gained valuable knowledge about the science of #measurement. It was great timing to showcase some of the #workforce #training programs IACMI – The Composites Institute leads with Chelsea M., senior field director for U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn and Sam Hart "The Hart of Knoxville" with the Knoxville Chamber (Knoxville, Tennessee). Different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, one common goal: knowing how we gather data and take measurements matters.
We're off to another great ACE #metrology bootcamp where participants learn the nuances of multiple forms of measuring tools with Tony Schmitz. Among them, Timothy No demonstrates how a structured light scanner can be used to measure parts. #machiningmonday
Congratulations to this group at the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering! Well done! 👏 If you haven't done a bootcamp, why wait? Join these students and the 1,600 others who've completed one. Here's a list to help you find one near you now. ⚙ https://lnkd.in/gSKf2zVa
This week marked the inaugural launch of the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering's America's Cutting Edge (ACE) CNC Machining Bootcamp for high school students! A big "Thank You!" to Totino-Grace High School for providing us with great students ready to roll up their sleeves and learn. And congratulations to student Grant Lamonthent for his first place win in our CNC machining bootcamp assembly contest! As student Jacob Ksepka said, "the coolest part has been turning the parts from designs on the computer into actual useable parts.” https://lnkd.in/gts9gGjE #CNCmachining #education #careers
