After spending a lot of time with another site last year (flexibledelivery.net.au) then the powers to be decided to close the site (a great disappointment) I turn my attention back to this site as a focus for anyone teaching in a metals and engineering sector.
So I will post anything & everything that may be relevant & ask for anyone with something that could be helpful to send that to me also so if can be posted to all to use.
Regards to all
