Some review excerpts regarding Manufacturing Processes programmes

Review by Paul Wellington, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Monash University. On Forming of Plastics programmes

“I am currently using these 2 videos in second and third year Bachelor of Technology and Engineering subjects at Monash University to supplement introductory lectures. The students have watched each video twice to collect the extensive information they contain. A number of students have borrowed them to watch out of class hours to 'gather yet more information by a third viewing. These videos have an enormous technical content suitable for polymer, materials, manufacturing, mechanical and industrial engineering students and will equip them with an understanding far greater than has been achieved by any previous videos which I have seen."
