Courses Offered

Woodworking - In this beginning woodworking class, students will be introduced to the proper and safe use of hand tools, as well as portable and stationary power equipment. Safety, material processing, project layout, design and fabrication will be emphasized. Individual projects will be produced and finished after required projects are completed. This class serves as an excellent introduction to the Construction Trades or Manufacturing programs. 

Manufacturing I - This hands-on, project-based class is designed for students who are interested in exploring the many opportunities knowledge of basic manufacturing principles will make available to them. While students will primarily be practicing manufacturing techniques through using wood as a medium, they will also have the opportunity to 3D print using a variety of plastics. In addition, students will be given the option of taking the OSHA 10 exam; students who earn this industry certification will find it helpful in getting both part- and full-time employment. 

Manufacturing II - Students in this class will continue to explore the manufacturing principles they learned in Manufacturing Through Wood I while also learning how to use a variety of milling and calculated numeric control (CNC) machines. Focus will be placed on lean manufacturing, which emphasizes streamlining processes and reducing waste. Students will work with local industry leads in coming up with solutions to real-world problems.

Manufacturing III - Students in the third class of this sequence can choose between an internship or welding instruction. Students will further enhance their skills through a work-based learning internship with a local manufacturer. Under supervision of the Region 14 ATC teacher, students may combine classroom learning with work experience. Students may extend the internship for additional credit. Students who elect the welding option will study at Phaze Welding Technology Center to learn the basics of stick, tig, and mig welding with the opportunity to test and earn welding certification. Running Start Class: Dual credit option for this class is available.
