Sample Projects This course prepares students for the rigorous and demanding fields of engineering and manufacturing. Whether making gears, designing car-bodies, or structuring hypersonic planes, the demand for qualified engineers and manufacturers will only continue to rise into the 21st century.

Computerized Manufacturing

This class will enable students interested in the areas of engineering, mechanical design, and manufacturing to gain relevant skills. The class uses computer, numerically-controlled machines to design and produce projects developed by the students. MasterCamTM, a software widely used in industry, will provide the means to develop these skills. Other skills introduced in the class are: blueprint reading, manufacturing processes, research and development, precision measuring, industrial materials, and problem solving.

Projects

In Computerized Manufacturing there are three distinct parts to all projects: Idea, Design, and Construction. Design and Construction are emphasized, but without an Idea, nothing can be accomplished.

Competitions

There are many in-class competitions, which give students a chance to make breath-taking products, demonstrate thinking capabilities, and show manual dexterity and creativeness. Most students do really well, and the competition is stiff, but many superb products are fabricated.
