TRANSFER OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT TRAINING TO VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO THREE AXIS MINI CNC ROUTER DESIGN: AN APPLIED STUDY

The aim of this study is to determine the success of the project development and rehabilitation courses given to university students on their students. In this direction, theoretical and practical training was given to the students on the theoretical calculations of machine construction, machine design and manufacturing, assembly stages and system analysis and study. As a result of this training, students were asked to design and manufacture a three-axis mini CNC router. During the design and manufacturing process, the necessary technical support was provided to the students where they had problems. As a result of the study, it has been seen that the students have successfully transferred the theoretical knowledge they have received to CNC router design and manufacturing. After the manufacturing process is completed, a sample is processed and the functionality of the mini CNC router machine is tested and a successful result is obtained. In addition, student achievement was statistically analyzed with a written examination including CNC machine design, construction principles and manufacturing operations. The results and analyzes obtained when the exams are evaluated; shows that the success rate of the exam is 77.75% in the light of the theoretical and practical information that the students have taken during the project period.
