Course Descriptions

Principles of Manufacturing

This course is an introduction to reading and interpreting working drawings for fabrication processes and associated trades. Students will learn sketching techniques to create multi-view drawings and interpret blueprint drawings including dimensions, notes, symbols, sections and auxiliary views. Professional employability skills like teamwork, communication, safety and portfolios will be a key element in this course. Certifications will be earned in OSHA (10-hr) and Microsoft Word.

Manufacturing Engineering Technology I

In this course students will gain knowledge and skills in the application, design, production, and assessment of products, services, and systems and how they are applied in manufacturing.  Course studies include working in CAD to complete designs, writing programmable logic controls for robot systems, designing products using a CNC machine/lathe, working with mechanical, fluid, thermal and electrical systems. Students will understand quality-control systems through the use of industrial standards and Pareto charts. Professional employablility skills like teamwork, communication, safety and portfolios will be a key element in this course. Microsoft certifications will be earned. 

Manufacturing Engineering Technology II

Students will reinforce, apply, and transfer knowledge and skills to develop systems using electrical controls and pneumatics or hydraulics devices, troubleshoot programmable logic controls for robot systems and develop a product on a CNC machine/lathe. Coursework will include using mathematical processes to analyze mathematical relationships, communicate ideas, and justify mathematical ideas/arguments using precise language in both written and oral communication. Certifications will be earned in Microsoft.

PRacticum in Manufacturing

This course is designed to provide practical application of knowledge and skills gained in prior courses. Students will work to build a professional portfolio showcasing their knowledge and skills while working with their teacher and mentor to plan a large-scale project planning, managing and performing the processing of materials into final products for the course. Certifications will be earned in OSHA 30-hr and advanced industry based certifications.
