Manufacturing Tech Program (CTE)


 

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

Entry Level: 9th grade only

Length: Semester

This is an exciting introductory course offered to freshmen to introduce them to the world of engineering and manufacturing.  Students will integrate CAD (computer aided drafting) and manufacturing skills by alternating class time from both areas.  Students will learn measurement, the design process, detailed plans (including orthographic projections, dimensioning standards, auxiliary and section views). When students have completed detailed plans, they will produce parts and products in the manufacturing lab.  Manufacturing skills include the following: shop safety, hand tool use, vertical milling machine, drill press, cnc operation, sheet metal fabrication, and forging.  This class will expose students to basic skills from both disciplines and be invaluable to high tech/high wage careers.
