EMTNR CAPS
EMTNR CAPS
The CAPS courses within the Academies of Alexandria focus on providing students with real-world projects and solve real-world problems. In EMTNR CAPS, students partner with local industries to partner on authentic projects that are directly related to career areas of interest. Prior to taking on their industry-assigned tasks, students receive a broad introduction to industry-based engineering, manufacturing, construction and design solutions and review professional skills and responsibilities required while working in local industries.
Cardinal Fab is a class that provides students with a real-world manufacturing business experience. Students run a school business that involves producing wood and metal projects within our school shop areas. Cardinal Fab has its own website within our high school website where you can find information about their team and products that are available.
