These students prepare detailed technical drawings used to build everything from spacecraft to bridges to buildings. Students learn both manual and computer drafting skills working with software packages including AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, Rhino-3D, and Animator. They learn problem-solving techniques and precision measurement.

Program Highlights

• Architectural Drawings and Model Building
• Blueprint Reading and Sketching
• Civil Engineering Drawings and Surveying
• Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
• Mechanical and Industrial Problem Solving Projects

Engineering Technology students learn principles of hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and mechanical systems so they can design machinery or develop new products and new ways of making them. A large portion of time will be dedicated to basic metalworking processes, robotics, computer numerical control equipment and computer-aided drafting. This College Tech Prep curriculum has been developed for those who wish to pursue college or advanced training. College credits are available upon successful completion of the program.

Program Highlights

• Quality Assurance
• Blueprint Reading
• Basic Manufacturing Techniques
• College Credits

The College Tech Prep curriculum has been developed with post-secondary options in mind for those students who wish to pursue college or advanced training. College credits are available upon successful completion of this program.

These students use lathes, drill presses, milling machines and hand tools to make parts or one-of-a kind items for companies who produce everything from cars to computers. Math instruction is related to part dimensioning, tool geometry, speed and feed calculations and quality control. An emphasis is placed on bench work and heat treatment of various metals. The use of computer numerical control (CNC) equipment is covered during the senior year.

Program Highlights

• Metallurgy
• Cell Manufacturing Concepts
• Blueprint Reading
• Tool Grinding
• Benchwork
• Machine Repair
• National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) Certified

Endorsed by the American Welding Society

Students are trained in all processes of welding including stick, MIG, TIG and flux core. The goal of the program is to obtain as many American Welding Society (AWS) certifications as possible. Students will gain knowledge of oxyfuel and plasma arc cutting. Customer projects are an important part of the program; students learn to layout, fabricate and weld actual projects to industrial standards.
