Tool Storage Problem Solved!
Klenke, Andrew M.; Dell, Tim W.
Tech Directions, v66 n8 p16-18 Mar 2007
Graduates of the automotive technology program at Pittsburg State University (PSU) generally enter the workforce in some type of automotive management role. As a result, the program does not require students to purchase their own tools, and it does not have room for all 280 majors to roll around a personal tool chest. Each instructor must maintain adequate tools for each lab exercise, which can present quite a challenge. But the Technology Education Collegiate Association (TECA) chapter at PSU came to the rescue with a niche service that provided the automotive technology program with top-quality laser-cut tool organizers for its tool cabinet drawers. The organization did this at a reduced price, while earning more per hour than in earlier fund-raising activities--and it gave the students involved excellent real-world experience.
