Manufacturing Technology is a course that allows our students to be creative through designing and creating hands-on projects. You will learn how to safely use manual and CNC machining, as well as fabrication techniques (welding, sheet metal forming, plasma cutting, and more). Students will learn how to safely set up and operate a wide variety of Manufacturing tools and machines. As well, they will learn how to interpret engineering drawings, the basics of design and proper use of measuring equipment.
Manufacturing Technology courses are offered in grades 10, 11 and 12 with M level credit options being offered in both grades 11 and 12. The senior courses fit the requirements for the Specialist High Skills Major program.
When selecting Manufacturing Technology as one of your course options, please know that you DO NOT need any previous experience with any of the equipment or tools in our shop. We will teach you everything from the basics to advanced manufacturing techniques, no matter what your skill level is.
If you have any further question, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Gillespie or drop by room 304 to see where the creation happens.
