Program Description:

This is a two-year program available to juniors or seniors. Students should have an interest in engineering, architecture, drafting, design, robotics and computer controlled equipment.

Students will learn Mechanical and Architectural drafting, design, solid modeling, CNC programming and Arduino basics. In addition, students explore various engineering disciplines and career choices. The course covers safety, employment and educational opportunities. It also includes current industry trends and developments. A strong emphasis is put on developing professional skills and responsibilities. A major portion of time will be spent in hands-on labs learning to operate the software, CNC lath and mill machine tools and controls.

The classrooms consist of a networked computer lab, a robotics lab, a laser and 3D printer lab, and manufacturing machining lab. In the computer lab students learn computer aided drafting, design (CAD) and solid modeling. Students also learn how to create programs to run computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. The manufacturing machining lab consists of a vinyl graphics cutter, laser engraver, 3D printer, drill press, band saw, metal band saw, three CNC mills, CNC lathe, robotic work cell, fluid system (hydraulic and pneumatic) trainer and a programmable logic controller (PLC).
