Manufacturing Pathway
Machine Tool Technology 1 & 2Mr. James Griggs
The Machine Tool Technology program is designed to prepare student to perform entry-level machine shop tasks under the supervision of an experienced machinist. Machine Tool Technology student receives training on a variety of metal shaping machines used in the machining industry. Included in the course of study is the understanding of all aspects of the modern machining industry, including CNC/CAD/CAM, and demonstrates such elements of the industry as planning, management, technical and production skills, underlying principles of technology, labor issues, community issues, and health, safety, and environmental issues.
Mechatronics 1 & 2Ms. Wendy Jacobs
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field involving electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, electronics, robotics/automation, computer components, and control systems. The intent of the program is to prepare students with entry-level industrial skills for the workforce or to prepare them for entry into post-secondary programs. Level 1 focuses on safety, A/C and D/C circuits, hand and power tools, and precision measurements. Level 2 focuses on programmable logic controllers (PLC), electrical industrial controls, fluid power (pneumatics), and motor controls and starters.
Welding Technology 1 & 2Mr. Mason Rogers
Welding is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to effectively perform cutting and welding applications used in the construction industry or in advanced manufacturing. Students will develop proficiency in fundamental safety practices in welding, interpreting drawings, creating computer aided drawings, identifying and using joint designs, efficiently laying out parts for fabrication. This program will provide the students with skills in basic Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), Flux core arc welding (FCAW), Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), as well as quality control methods.
