I have 14 students.&nbsp; 9 of the students work at the Denver mint, three work at the Naval Ship Yard in Seattle and two work for Douglas County.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The hands-on part of the class (that is the major selling point for NTT classes) involves shaft alignment trainers.&nbsp; We use basic straight edge tools, dual dial indicators and laser systems for the training.&nbsp; When the students are working with the dual dial indicators, they tend to get very frustrated as it is a difficult process.&nbsp; After they have done the processes (two) several times, they become much less agitated.&nbsp; But all of them want to use the laser and never want to see the dial indicators again {grin}.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">We had some equipment issues (prior instructor left the sets in less than acceptable condition with some of the critical pieces missing.&nbsp; Since we were in the office, we swapped the trainers out for another set and things went much smoother.&nbsp; I had to leave the class room, as I was so upset that our students had to experience this kind of a mess.&nbsp; I cooled off a bit and sent them home early so that we could make our plan for the next day.&nbsp; Obviously my patience is not what it should be right now.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The exercises we do tomorrow are a bit easier and the students will do well and not get nearly as frustrated.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">That is all for this trip.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello from Centennial,&nbsp;
