Americas Pneumatics TP 101 Equipment Set

TP 101 America now combines the proven learning approach through object-oriented courseware from Lab-Volt with the project-orientation from Festo Didactic. TP 101 America is the basic level for education in pneumatics and a prerequisite for TP 201 America, Electropneumatics Basic Level.

The course curriculum accompanying the learning system is designed to follow industry standards. First, at the beginning of each exercise, meaningful objectives are clearly stated. Then, the theory to attain these objectives is laid out extensively, with an emphasis on component description. Next comes the laboratory procedure itself. In this section, students follow precise and safe working instructions designed to teach them the practical principles related to the stated objectives. Throughout the laboratory procedure, questions and remarks ensure that students analyze and comprehend the results they obtain. Finally, review questions ascertain the degree of comprehension of students relative to the topics discussed in the exercise.
