The Advanced Manufacturing and Machinery Mechanics program of study focuses on the assembly, operation,
maintenance, and repair of electromechanical equipment or devices. CTE learners may work in a variety of mechanical
fields, gaining knowledge and experience in robotics, refinery and pipeline systems, deep ocean exploration, or
hazardous waste removal. CTE concentrators may work in a variety of fields of engineering.
Principles of Manufacturing (2 semesters) (9-12)
In Principles of Manufacturing, students are introduced to knowledge and skills used in the proper application of principles of manufacturing. The study of manufacturing technology allows students to reinforce, apply, and transfer academic knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant activities. Students will gain an understanding of what employers require to gain and maintain employment in manufacturing careers. The Manufacturing Career Cluster focuses on planning, managing, and performing the processing of materials into intermediate or final products and related professional and technical support activities such as production planning and control, maintenance, and manufacturing/process engineering.
Robotics I (2 semesters) (9-10)
In Robotics I, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment through implementation of the design process. Students will build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Additionally, students will explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotic and automation industry.
Robotics II (2 Semesters) (10-12)
In Robotics II, students will explore artificial intelligence and programming in the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. Students will build prototypes and use software to test their designs.
*Prerequisite: Robotics I
Practicum in Manufacturing (2 Semesters) (12)
The Practicum in Manufacturing course is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences can occur in a variety of locations appropriate to the nature and level of experience. The practicum course can include a paid or unpaid capstone experience for students participating in a coherent sequence of career and technical education courses in the Manufacturing Career Cluster.
