Advanced Manufacturing Technology

In this course students will further explore the application of skills that are commonly known in the industry as "machine shop." Students will further the development of operation skills of traditional engine lathes, vertical/horizontal mills and grinding as well as operations on similar machines. Emphasis is on those skills needed by trade's persons who have achieved proficiency in the operation of machines and related tooling and equipment. Quality skills related to machining and some planning and job control skills related to machine work are developed. Interaction and relationships between parts in assemblies will be a focus of course projects. Students will further their understanding of common manufacturing processes which will enhance their ability to efficiently engineer solutions to problems. This pathway will also create a professional network for streamlined job placement for all students, particularly those wishing to enter the workforce after graduation.

This course is offered as a Blended Learning course. Blended learning is an approach to learning that combines face-to-face and online learning experiences. There is a combination of student days in class and out of class. This flexible use of time allows the teacher to bring in small groups of students for targeted support and/or enrichment and it allows students to have more ownership over how, when and where they learn.
