Course Catalog
Precision Metal Manufacturing I
This course will provide necessary skills in machining as well as a real-world foundation for any engineering discipline. Students will learn the concepts and skills that form the technical knowledge required in precision machining and will evaluate the function and application of the tools, equipment, technologies, and materials used in precision machining. They will perform bench work and layout, precision measurements, manual lathe work, and manual milling work.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: None
Precision Metal Manufacturing II
Students will build on the manual machining skills gained in Precision Metal Manufacturing I as they move into the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. They will study various CNC systems to differentiate the development and implementation of those systems, learn the process planning and tool selection within a CNC lab environment, learn to operate a CNC lathe and CNC mill, manually program a CNC lathe and a CNC mill, and understand and implement quality control procedures.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: Precision Metal Manufacturing I

Practicum in Manufacturing
This course builds on knowledge and skills developed in Welding I. Students will develop advanced welding concepts and skills as they relate to personal and career development. They will perform advanced cutting processes and welds using a variety of materials to produce intermediate and final manufactured products. This is a capstone course for students that are completing a coherent sequence of courses within their specific career pathway.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: Algebra I and Geometry/Completion of interest form required before course registration deadline. See counselor for more information. Completion of interest form required before deadline.
Practicum in Entrepreneurship
The Practicum enables students to gain first-hand entrepreneurial experience within a structured, supportive context. In addition to applying the knowledge acquired during previous courses, students will also learn – and put into practice – valuable new tools and techniques that can help identify, assess, and pursue attractive business opportunities. During multiple team-based projects students will gain hands-on experience in a broad range of important entrepreneurial activities. Students who wish to take this course must have their own transportation to travel to their practicum site(s). This course may serve as a capstone in multiple pathways.
