"We have had excellent results with the MasterTask program. The students like the CD-ROM interaction and the immediate feedback they receive. Our clients have commented on how up-to-date the program is and how effective the graphic representations are of various CNC processes." Dr. Jim Lovelady, Angelina College, Lufkin, Texas.
"Like many schools with limited funds, our school's lab equipment is old and not a good example of what students are likely to see. Now my students can handle just about any machine they are likely to find in industry. I am able to place them as fast as I teach them." George Light, Mid-Florida Tech, Orlando, Florida.
"I have a class that includes both adult learners and new trainees. The adults go through a video lesson and then take the CD-ROM test while I am able to work more closely with the new students. These materials let me mix and match my instruction to fit each student's needs." Dick Butkiewicz, Fox Valley Technical College, Appelton Wisconsin.
"If they are experienced CNC machinists, they improve their performance right off the bat. They learn to do things they weren't able to do before. If they are inexperienced, they can operate a machine immediately after completing the course. Plus, I am not aware of a single crash by any of our new operators." David Evans, Emerson Electric.
"We are very pleased with the high level of retention. That's important because we warranty our students to their employers. We will provide additional training if necessary. The MasterTask program enables us to more than meet that objective." Gilbert L. Maestas, Pueblo Community College, Pueblo, Colorado.
"I was always worried about letting students get hands-on experience because I don't have the budget to replace broken tooling or fix a damaged machine. The computer simulations make sure they know what they are doing before they get to the machine." Sonny Suskey, Salina Area Vocational Technical School, Salina, Kansas.
