Curriculum for training students?

Due to turn over, we've got a fairly young team, build wise, without a lot of accumulated student build wisdom. We (the mentors), were thinking it would be nice to have a set of build 'lessons' for the fall. The idea is that we'd have a set of fairly simple, discrete steps, each one of which contributed towards a whole robot. For example, say one step is to frame a chassis. You'd have a bucket of parts, instructions, and then we'd hope that a new student could accomplish that task in two hours. Another task could be to put together a gear box, and so on. A student 'mastering' all of the lessons should now be ready for most basic robot construction. The hope is to break the learning curve down a bit so new students can more gradually become experienced.

I imagine that others have created such curriculum, but my (admittedly somewhat brief) google fu didn't turn up anything obvious. I saw this lovely new forum topic, and thought, what the heck, I'll just *ask* <grin>.

Pointers to resources, or other suggestions very welcome.

Cheers,

Jeremy
