Training for the upcoming underclassmen?

This year, we have recruited a few upcoming underclassmen to join the team. However, we suspect that some of them do not even know what the difference between a hex nut or a lock nut! Naturally, their knowledge is very limited, but they are willing to dedicate the time to learn.

How do you guys train new members? Are there any books that can illustrate diagrams of basic tools and hardware as well as explain basic engineering concepts? We want them to at least have a basic knowledge before the star of next school year.

We would like them to:

- Identify tools in the shop (allen wrenches, power tools etc.)
- Identify common hardware and sizes (nuts, bolts, washers, machine screws, etc)
- Become familiar of electrical terms / systems (circuit breakers, power distribution)
- Understand basic programming concepts
- Materials
- Understanding of Motors (rpms, torque)

The major concern is that these underclassmen will be taking over once the upperclassmen graduates. So we do not want to overwhelm them with robotics training in the school year while dealing with the difficulties of freshmen year.

Any links, book titles, or diagrams would be appreciated!!
