This project based course is designed to develop a student’s proficiency in the field of manufacturing. Students will learn by designing and fabricating projects through a series of activities, building skills in the area of design communication, material properties, manufacturing methods, machine controls, and quality assurance. Students will use a computer lab, precision fabrication laboratory, and robotics for a hands-on approach to manufacture projects with various materials. This course is aligned with Project Lead the Way (PLTW).
