A Comprehensive, Self-Contained System that Familiarizes
Students with Hydraulic Technology and its Applications
CES-7400's instructor-developed curriculum is flexible and features
25 to 30 hours of instruction in hydraulic components, applications
and principles. The modular format allows self-teach/self-paced or
group instruction. The Physical Properties section combines science
and technology as in programs like the Principles of Technology.
Each lesson requires students to conduct an experiment in hydraulic
technology using one or more of the 18 industrial-grade hydraulic
components, including different types of valves, cylinders and
measuring instruments. In the Application laboratories section of the
manual, students use the components to emulate industrial
applications.
A complete power supply with a pump and fluid reservoir, together
with a work surface and the components conveniently stored on a
panel, provide everything needed to understand this fluid power
technology. The pump is designed to operate at approximately 25 PSI
for classroom safety.
The Principles of Hydraulics learning system is one building block in
the
Fundamentals of Technology system. Other modules
address the principles of mechanisms, pneumatics, robotics, sensors,
programmable controllers, computer interfacing and systems
integration. All systems feature:
Instructor and student versions of the curriculum; the instructor
guide includes lesson preparation and presentation suggestions.
Easy-to-read curriculum with three levels of instruction:
introduction to components, industrial applications and physical
properties.
Student mountable components that maximize comprehension
and manual dexterity.
Impact-resistant, lockable and portable case for use in different
classrooms or buildings.
Clearly labeled storage panel for component identification and
inventory.
Removable panels for mounting the system on a table or in a
carrel to meet space requi'rements.

CURRICULUM
The Principles of Hydraulics curriculum was designed and reviewed
by a panel of experienced high school and community college
teachers. Courseware includes an instructor's reference guide and a
student manual with 25 units of activities and instructional support.
The 8 to 10 hours of introductory instruction are ideally suited for
exploratory Technology Education programs. Each of the three
necessary levels of instruction includes background study of the
topic, observational and hands-on experiments, application exercises,
and mathematical formulas for proving results. Students will also
develop skills in problem solving, data management, hydraulic
concepts and unit conversion.
A 10 activity modular format is also available.
