Joe,
I have found that the best way to get the idea across is to mention what Dean said one night a few years ago - If you want to inspire a student to be a great basketball player, is it better to give him a basketball and tell him how to do it or take him to watch Michael Jordan play (maybe that should be Vince Carter now)? The answer is a little of both. We try to combine as much drilling and tapping by the students as possible with them watching a five axis CNC magically turn out a sprocket. We let them see what we can do - and what they can do with a little hard work over the next few years.

Don't sweat the comments Delphi - in fact I have come to take those as a complement to our program. Except for two minutes at a time this is really a celebration more than a competition - it takes a few years for that to sink it.
