[General] the milling machine

[Justin Richards]

That sounds like a good set of classes, and I could talk a bit about the
electronics portion as I've had quite a bit of experience doing electronics
for portable devices, as well as electronics in industrial environments.

I would definitely be interested in a DFM talk or class for enclosures and
other mechanical parts as well.
