Course Description
Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course give students hands-on experience make parts from CAD drawings. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation.
Outcomes:
• Students will explore careers in many engineering fields related to modern manufacturing.
• Students will work independently and collaborate to program and opperate industrial robots.
• Students will use the engineering design process to develop an original solution to a technical problem.
• Student will use computational thinking to create mathmatical and graphic models of their ideas.
• Students will learn, practice, and follow all safety rules for using fabrication tools.

Autodesk Certified Associate in CAM
for 2.5 Axis Milling/Fusion 360
This class is recommend for students who have already earned their Autodesk Certified User - Fusion in Introduction to Engineering. The first semester will focus on computer aided manufacturing and learning how to use Autodesk Fusion software to control machines to make parts. Students will test to earn their professional industry certificate. ACA in CAM for Milling/Fusion
AMTAP -Advanced Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship Program
AMTAP -Advanced Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship Program
Lockheed Martin is a major aerospace engineering company with facilities located here in Jefferson County. They have developed and run an apprenticeship program for factory technicans called AMTAP. They are coolaboration with DRHS so that we can begin offering a pre-apprenticeship program in this class that will povide an expodited acceptance for our students into their paid 9 week apprenticeship program. This will be integrated into the second semester of this class.

Each PLTW Engineering course engages students in interdisciplinary activities like working with a client to design a home, programming electronic devices or robotic arms. These activities not only build knowledge and skills in engineering, but also empower students to develop essential skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance.
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product.
Students explore a broad range of engineering topics including mechanisms, strength of structure and materials, and automation, and then they apply what they know to take on challenges like designing a self-powered car.
Students discover and explore manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation, and then they apply what they have learned to design solutions for real-world manufacturing problems.
Students explore and experience the wonders of flight, aerodynamics, and space exploration. Student will learn about the field of aerospace and then they apply what they have learned to design and test model planes, rockets, and drones.
Students explore the foundations of computing by engaging in circuit design processes to create combinational logic and sequential logic (memory) as electrical engineers do in industry.
Students identify a real-world challenge and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solutions to a panel of engineers.
