Manufacturing and Machinery Mechanics

Manufacturing & Machinery Mechanics Pathway
Throughout the pathway, students acquire technical mathematics & basic engineering principles while also developing essential problem-solving & teamwork skills. The curriculum is structured to integrate real-world challenges while introducing them to the specialized topics of machinery dynamics, materials science, computer-aided design (CAD), & robotics to develop their skills in troubleshooting & maintenance of manufacturing equipment.
Starting with the Principles of Applied Engineering course, students gain exposure to diverse STEM fields & develop crucial engineering skills. The curriculum progresses into Robotics I, where students explore artificial intelligence & programming, creating prototypes using industry-standard software like SolidWorks. Building on this, the Robotics II class includes the First Robotics Competition, providing an experience with extensive after-school sessions & competitions that also earns math credit.
As seniors, students enroll in our Entrepreneurship course that covers sales, marketing, legal considerations, & finance. It allows students to develop their ideas into solutions for legitimate problems & guides them through the process of forming & launching their own companies. This instills technical expertise but also develops an entrepreneurial mindset, preparing STEM graduates for success in the dynamic field of manufacturing & machinery mechanics.
