FBE Design Lab
The venue for IDES1013 is the FBE Design Laboratory, located in the SquareHouse (Building E4 on the UNSW Kensington campus map). The training rooms for the various modelmaking modules are below.
IDES1013 video requirements
All IDES1013 students are required to watch and understand these two videos: the FBE Design Lab online safety test has many questions coming from these videos!
1. Safety in Technology Workshops: Working with Wood, Metal and Plastic. 5-minute online preview of a 23-minute DVD from Video Education Australasia, available at FBE Design Laboratory
2. Safety in the Workshop: your tools are out to get you!. 5-minute online preview of a 16-minute DVD from Classroom Video, available at FBE Design Laboratory

Reading Vernier Callipers
Industrial designers, machinists, scientists, etc ... they all use vernier callipers to make high-precision measurements of distances between two symmetrically opposing sides. It is highly recommended that IDES students equip themselves with vernier callipers in their design studio toolkits.The above Java applet by Ron Blond of Alberta Learning Canada trains students in reading vernier callipers.
Another website, from the Physics Department of Clemson University, also provides video tutorials on how to read verniers.
And this web simulation from Southern Methodist University tests students on their vernier reading skills.
