Engineering Technology Pathway
Engineering Design courses offer students experience in solving problems by applying a design development process. Often using solid modeling computer design software, students develop, analyze, and test product solutions models as well as communicate the features of those models. Principles of Engineering courses provide students with an understanding of the engineering /technology field. Students typically explore how engineers use various technology systems and manufacturing processes to solve problems; they may also gain an appreciation of the social and political consequences of technological change. |
mANUFACTURING SYSTEMS CAREER PROGRAM: 5 PATHWAYS
SEE WHERE REGIONAL STUDENTS ARE STUDYING THESE PATHWAYS:
Industrial Electronics Technology Pathway
This pathway introduces students to the skills needed to service, repair, and replace a wide range of equipment associated with automated or instrument-controlled manufacturing processes. Planned learning activities in this course allow students to become more knowledgeable in the fundamental principles and theories of electrical/ electronic and hydraulic/pneumatic equipment as applied to instrumentation devices and digitally encoded radio equipment. Instruction also includes safety principles and practices, semi-conductors and transistor theory, electrical parameters and circuits, electronic component function and identification, and the use and care of related hand tools, power tools, and test equipment. 
Welding Technology Pathway
People in this profession use hand-welding, flame-cutting, hand-soldering, or brazing equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products. |
Machine Tool Technology Pathway
This pathway introduces students to the basic skills and machines needed in precision metal work. Students gain machining skills while working with lathes, milling machines, surface grinders, drill presses, and other equipment. In addition, students learn the basics of blueprint reading, precision measuring, layout, and machining process planning. 
Cabinetmaking & Millwork Pathway
People in this profession cut, shape, and assemble wooden articles or set up and operate a variety of woodworking machines, such as power saws, jointers, and mortisers to surface, cut, or shape lumber or to fabricate parts for wood products. |
Sheet Metal Technology Pathway
This pathway is designed to introduce students to the Sheet Metal Worker occupation. Students are instructed in areas of safety including hand tool, power tool, ladder and scaffolding. Students are introduced to the planning, layout, and fabrication of sheet metal parts. Students gain knowledge of blueprint reading and sketching to determine sequence and methods of fabrication and assembly of products. In addition, units of instruction include the proper use and maintenance of hand and power tools, metal identification, measuring and layout, metal separating, forming machinery, and basic welding. |
