Description:
CTE Career Pathway Type/Cluster Title (IAC): Manufacturing (15.06)
The course is designed for students who want an introductory manufacturing and engineering related course. Students will learn and apply concepts of measurement in manufacturing aspects as they explore traditional and introductory high-tech equipment, processes, and tools in the fields of woodwork and metal fabrication, including basic welding. The course will set the background for understanding high technology concepts and processes. Students will learn engineering aspects of manufacturing by learning and applying 2D and 3D CAD and Fusion 360 to design their projects, 3D prints and blueprints and then fabricate those projects. Using manual equipment such as a table saw, manual metal lathe, students will manufacture what they design. This class sets the basic background needed to perform successfully on high technology equipment such as a CNC (computer numerical control) mill and lathe, 3D printing, and plasma cutting on a plasma CNC controlled table. MakerBot certification online will be an integral part of the curriculum. Individual units in other technology fields such as small engines or construction may be included based on student career needs.

The course is designed to teach students how to operate technology that requires computers to run equipment. The course will teach the language, industry standards, what design to machine communication means, programming using M and G coding needed to operate computer-controlled equipment such as a Haas Lathe, CNC router table, and a Advanced welding techniques will be taught as well. Students will gain understanding of Industry Standards and the skills necessary for further education as well as the knowledge and skills necessary possibly leading them into a possible Youth Apprenticeships in the area manufacturers/businesses during their Junior and Senior years. Dual credit with the area Technical Colleges is a real possibility. Students through the online coursework using Certiport Autodesk Fusion 360 and Gene Haas Lathe for State and Industry recognized certification and Makerbot 3D printing Certifications. Individual units in other technology fields such as small engines or construction may be included based on student career needs.

CTE Career Pathway Type/Cluster Title (IAC): Manufacturing (15.06)
Third year Technology students will, with the instructor’s pre-approval, be allowed to enroll into one of the two Technology Education high school periods. Students will work independently to further enhance their knowledge and occupational skills in fields that they elect to enhance and further pursue career knowledge and skills. These might be in the fields of automotive, small engines, construction including the trades such as electrician, plumbing, HVAC, and manufacturing such as CNC. Students may not enroll unless they have taken both the Introduction to Manufacturing Design and Fabrication and the Manufacturing Design and Fabrication courses. Job Shadowing in the manufacturing, construction, and trades will be an integral part of the course.
