A bunch of Wobbler's from New England Institute of Technology students!

Hello everyone!

Just thought I would share my student projects for their manufacturing processes class this winter. Just (10) weeks ago these students started these engines with NO machining experience at all. They were all so happy to see their engines running and some of them came in on their days off to work in the shop. Just so all of you know...I am trying to keep the hobby alive over in Warwick, Rhode Island! 25% of their final grade was to design and build an engine base which is why there are so many creative styles.

Just thought you would find them interesting.

Chris,
What a great posting! I enjoyed it. :bow: Had I known you were an instructor I would have had a great time trading war stories with you at the NEMES show. Next year for sure.

Cheers,
Phil

Wonderful post Chris. Its amazing what these students can do when they get interested, put away the ipods and cell phones and put their minds to it. Thanks for sharing their work with us.
