Course Catalog
Principles of Applied Engineering
Principles of Applied Engineering provides an overview of the various fields of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics and their interrelationships. Students will develop engineering communication skills, which includecomputer graphics, modeling, and presentations, by using a variety of computer hardware and software applications tocomplete assignments and projects. Upon completing this course, students will understand the various fieldsof engineering and will be able to make informed career decisions. Further, students will have worked on a designteam to develop a product or system. Students will use multiple software applications to prepare and present courseassignments.
Course Location: Home Campus
Prerequisites: None
Entrepreneurship I
This course will introduce students to the entrepreneurial mindset and the basic skills necessary to become an entrepreneur. The primary focus is identifying business opportunities using Design Thinking, creating a business plan using Lean Start-Up, and developing a plan to organize and promote the business. In addition, students may get opportunities throughout the year to enhance their entrepreneurial skillset, including; creating a pop up business, competing in pitch competitions, and participating in other networking events.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: None
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
Intro to Welding
This course is an introduction to welding technology with an emphasis on basic welding laboratory principles andoperating procedures. Topics include: industrial safety and health practices, hand- tool and power machine use,measurement, laboratory operating procedures, welding power sources, welding career potentials, and introduction towelding codes and standards.
Course Location: Home Campus, Ag Science Center
Prerequisites: None
Welding I
Students will evaluate the function and application of the tools, equipment, technologies, and materials used inwelding. Topics will include: joint design, symbols, welds, and the concepts and intricacies of inspections and relatedcodes. Students will analyze and demonstrate proper procedures for plasma arc cutting on metals, shielded metal arcwelding, gas metal arc welding, and flux cored arc welding.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: None
Welding II
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.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: Welding I
Robotics I
Through the implementation of the engineering design process, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. They will learn the function and application of the technology, tools, equipment, and materials used in robotic and automated systems as they produce and test their prototypes. They will also explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotic and automation industry. *Only applies to the Advanced Manufacturing and Machinery Mechanics program of study.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: None
Robotics II
Students will expand on the skills developed in Robotics I as they explore artificial intelligence and programming
in the robotic and automation industry. They will apply mathematics and physics to problems and will use an
engineering design problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or
strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the process. This course satisfies a high school
mathematics graduation requirement. *Only applies to the Advanced Manufacturing and Machinery Mechanics program of study.
Course Location: Career Tech Center
Prerequisites: Robotics 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: 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.
