Postsecondary credit for this course MAY be available, please see instructor.

This course offers an introduction to state of the art manufacturing techniques by providing an integrated approach to the design, production, and testing of objects and materials. Students begin the course by mastering the basics of a machine tool process, then move to more advanced projects involving computer numerical control (CNC) machining, computer aided drafting (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). The welding portion of the course introduces students to shielding metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, cutting, and brazing. Throughout the course an emphasis on product production is maintained, and students develop skills useful in a modern manufacturing environment.
