Prerequisite: None
Do you like to use hand and power tools to build things? Then Manufacturing I is the class for you. The first term of Manufacturing I is devoted to metalworking. You will be working and building projects in the following metalworking areas:
Welding, oxyacetylene and stick arc
Machining, engine late and milling machine
Bench metal, drilling, threading and cutting
Sheet metal
Forging and foundry
The second term will be devoted to woodworking. You will learn how to use many of the hand and power tools used in constructing wood projects. The projects that you will be building this term are a bookshelf, a wall shelf and a candlestick holder. During this term you will also learn how to machine pats using a Computer Numerical Control milling machine.
The things you learn from this class may spark an interest in one of the many different career opportunities that is course point towards.
FEE: Approximately $25.00

Prerequisite: Manufacturing I
If you liked working with metals in Manufacturing I, and want to take your skills in the use of hand and power tools to the next level, then Manufacturing II Metals is the course you should take. In this course you will review many of the basic skills used in metalworking and then you will learn and develop skills in many new and advanced processes. Some of the new skills you will be learning include the following:
In the welding area GNAW, GTAW and out of position SMAW and brazing.
In the machining area, different methods of holding work, boring, knurling, pocketing and tapering.
In the foundry area you will design and construct your own pattern.
In the bench metal area you will work with designing and building scrolls.
In the sheet metal area you will build a two hinged toolbox.
FEE: Approximately $35.00

MANUFACTURING III INDEPENDENT (82)
Elective Course
1 or 2 Terms
1 or 2 Credits
Prerequisite: Manufacturing II Metals, Manufacturing II Woods, and approval from Mr. Shelledy
If Manufacturing I and II has triggered your interest in learning more skills in the metal or woodworking area the you should consider Manufacturing III. In this course you will pick one or two areas you have high interest in and develop advanced skills in those areas. These skills will be developed through independent study and the building of projects.
FEE: You will pay for the materials you use.

Solid Modeling/Engineering Design students will use Parametric Solid Modeling techniques when designing mechanical parts used in industry. Emphasis here will be allowing the Engineering student to design an object and have the CAD tool represent that object through drafting and presentation techniques. Parts, Assemblies, Presentations, and Sheet Metal objects will be created by sketching, constraining, producing features, and dimensioning designs.
COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING [CAM](94)
Elective Course
1 Term
1 Credit
Prerequisite: Introductory CAD 2D
Computer Aided Manufacturing applies the knowledge gained through Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) to design objects and have the computer write files to control a mill or lathe to make the objects previously designed by the student. MasterCAM products will be used to produce the objects on the computer controlled milling machines.
