Title Overview

Industrial Hand and Power ToolsÃ¿is a foundational, comprehensive text designed to help students identify, select, properly use, and care for the common hand and power tools used in industrial and manufacturing careers. The content focuses on tool care, storage, safety, tool physics, measurement, basic hand tools, fasteners, and power tools. Color photos and illustrations are featured throughout the text to make it easy for students to clearly identify the right tool for the job, and step-by-step instructions describe the proper use of many tools. Cautions and Safety Tips provide a strong emphasis on safety to protect workers and equipment, and Pro Tips offer advice and guidance that is especially applicable for on-the-job situations. The Hands-On Activities actively engage students as they put tools into practice in a classroom workshop and answer questions to reflect on their results. This text also features end-of-chapter assessments, tool identification tests, and activities. Competency test tables are provided for these activities so that students have a clear understanding of competency expectations and instructors have ready-made grading criteria.

This title is available as a write-in text and online, with videos, a Virtual Toolbox, and interactive activities.
The text features lab activities and exercises for hand and power tools to provide real-world relevance.
Online Instructor Resources include lesson plans, answer keys, PowerPoints, an image library, and assessments.

About the Author

Jim Jozwiak spent forty years in education-related roles while working for Micron and Intel. Upon retirement, Jim was recruited to teach in the mechatronics program at the College of Western Idaho. Their mechatronics program responded to advisory board requests to offer a standalone introductory course on hand and power tools, which quickly expanded from one credit to three credits. Not seeing a text resource available to meet this course need, Mr. Jozwiak pulled together his own materials, which led to the creation of Industrial Hand and Power Tools. Mr. Jozwiak has an M.S. in Electrical Engineering as well as an M.S. in Adult and Organizational Learning and teaches in the Advanced Mechatronics Engineering Technology department at the College of Western Idaho.
