SUGGESTED TOOLS AND TOOL BOXES

The student is strongly encouraged to buy and use his/her own tools.  They will need them for their internship and employment.  Tool Vendors will offer substantial discounts for student tool sets.  It is not encouraged, but the department has a limited number of modest tool kits available for rent.  The deposit is $50 per semester for the basic set, of which $25 is refundable upon return of the intact set.  Students are required to replace lost tools.
