暫譯: 機械工具技術學生作業本

Steve Krar

Steve F. Krar spent 15 years in the trade, first as a machinist and finally as a tool and die maker. After this period, he entered Teachers’ College and graduated from the University of Toronto with a Specialist’s Certificate in Machine Shop Practice. During these 20 years of teaching, Mr. Krar was active in vocational and technical education and served on the executive committee of many educational organizations. For 10 years, he was on the summer staff of the College of Education, University of Toronto, involved in teacher training programs. Active in machine tool associations, Steve Krar is a Life Member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and former associate director of the GE Superabrasives Partnership for Manufacturing Productivity. He was inducted into the Canadian Manufacturers Hall of Fame in March 2009. 

Mr. Krar’s continual research over the past 50 years in manufacturing technology has involved many courses with lead- ing world manufacturers and an opportunity to study under Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Mr. Krar spent a week researching Nano- technology at leading research centers, universities, and industry in Switzerland. He is coauthor and consultant of over 80 technical books, such as Machine Shop Training, Machine Tool Operations, CNC Simplified, Superabrasives—Grinding and Machining, Exploring Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, some of which have been translated into 5 languages and used throughout the world.

Arthur Gill

Jonathan A. Gill graduated from high school with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. He entered Ryerson University in the industrial engineering program and then went into geographical analysis. Mr. Gill attended Humber College for electronics engineering and then spent 2 years at Mohawk College for computer networking and security analysis. 

Mr. Gill is currently an independent contractor employed by Nexas Networks Inc. as an Applications Engineer and Support Manager, providing factory floor networking and information technology for the aerospace and automotive industry, jobbing shops, and production discrete manufacturing facilities. 

Mr. Gill assisted the authors with the research, artwork, and final production of manuscript for the textbook Computer Numerical Control Simplified and is coauthor of the book Changing World of Manufacturing.

Peter Smid

Peter Smid graduated from high school with a specialty in machine shop training. He then entered industry, completed an apprenticeship program, and gained valuable experience as a machinist skilled on all types of machine tools. Mr. Smid immigrated to Canada in 1968 and spent the next 26 years employed in the machine tool industry as a machinist and tool and die maker. 

In the early 1970s, he became involved in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) as a programmer/operator and devoted the next 18 years to becoming proficient in all aspects of computerized manufacturing. In 1989, he became an independent consultant, and hundreds of companies have used Mr. Smid’s CNC and CAD/CAM skills to improve their manufacturing operations. He also wrote a comprehensive, 500-page CNC programming handbook, which is rapidly becoming the Bible of the trade. 

In 1995, he became a consultant/professor of Advanced Manufacturing focusing on industrial and customized training in CNC, CAD/CAM, and Agile Manufacturing. His many years of teaching, training, lecturing, and designing curriculum give him the opportunity to pass along his vast knowledge of modern manufacturing technology to students of all ages.

史蒂夫·克拉爾

史蒂夫·F·克拉爾在這個行業工作了15年，最初擔任機械工，最後成為工具和模具製造工。在這段時間之後，他進入教師學院，並從多倫多大學獲得機械車間實務的專家證書。在這20年的教學期間，克拉爾先生積極參與職業和技術教育，並在許多教育組織的執行委員會中任職。十年來，他在多倫多大學教育學院的暑期工作中參與教師培訓計劃。克拉爾先生活躍於機械工具協會，是製造工程師協會的終身會員，並曾擔任GE超硬材料製造生產力夥伴的副主任。他於2009年3月入選加拿大製造商名人堂。

克拉爾先生在過去50年中對製造技術的持續研究涉及許多與世界領先製造商的課程，並有機會向W·愛德華茲·德明博士學習。克拉爾先生在瑞士的領先研究中心、大學和行業進行了為期一週的納米技術研究。他是超過80本技術書籍的共同作者和顧問，如《機械車間訓練》、《機械工具操作》、《CNC簡化》、《超硬材料—磨削與加工》、《探索先進製造技術》，其中一些已被翻譯成5種語言並在全球使用。

亞瑟·吉爾

喬納森·A·吉爾以安大略省中學文憑畢業於高中。他進入萊爾森大學的工業工程課程，然後轉向地理分析。吉爾先生在漢伯學院學習電子工程，隨後在莫霍克學院花了2年時間學習計算機網絡和安全分析。

吉爾先生目前是Nexas Networks Inc.的獨立承包商，擔任應用工程師和支持經理，為航空航天和汽車行業、加工廠和生產離散製造設施提供工廠樓層網絡和信息技術支持。

吉爾先生協助作者進行《計算機數控簡化》教科書的研究、藝術作品和手稿的最終製作，並且是《製造業變遷世界》一書的共同作者。

彼得·斯米德

彼得·斯米德以機械車間訓練專業畢業於高中。然後他進入行業，完成了一個學徒計劃，並在各類機械工具上獲得了寶貴的機械工經驗。斯米德先生於1968年移民到加拿大，並在接下來的26年中在機械工具行業擔任機械工和工具模具製造工。

在1970年代初，他作為程序員/操作員參與了計算機數控（CNC），並在接下來的18年中致力於熟練掌握計算機化製造的各個方面。1989年，他成為獨立顧問，數百家公司利用斯米德先生的CNC和CAD/CAM技能來改善其製造運作。他還撰寫了一本500頁的綜合CNC編程手冊，該手冊迅速成為行業的聖經。

1995年，他成為高級製造顧問/教授，專注於CNC、CAD/CAM和敏捷製造的工業和定制培訓。他多年來的教學、培訓、講座和課程設計經驗使他有機會將自己對現代製造技術的豐富知識傳授給各年齡層的學生。
