Bicycle Manufacturing

Credit: CTE, or Elective (or 3rd year math credit if student completed Algebra and Geometry or concurrently enrolled in Geometry.)
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Length: 1 year
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12
Student Leadership Organization: SkillsUSA

Build bicycles from the ground up! Ever wondered how a bike frame is designed and welded? Do you want to learn how to assemble a bicycle? This class will teach you how to design a bicycle frame, accurately cut and weld the tubes and then how to add the components to make it a rideable bike. You will learn to use different tools including manual and CNC mills and lathes, Tig welders, specialized bicycle mechanic tools and hand tools. The CorePLUS Manufacturing curriculum (working towards the Boeing sponsored Aerospace Machinist Certificate) will also be offered as an option in this class. This is a math intensive class and you can expect to learn geometry, trigonometry and the Cartesian co-ordinate system. Some computer programming (G and M code) will also be used to control the machines that make the parts we will need to build the bicycle. Due to the nature of the tools used and the grading rubric, safety and professionalism are top priorities to be successful and remain in this course.

Metals/Welding Technology A, B

Credit: CTE or Elective. This is a CTE Dual Credit course. B or better will earn college credit.
Recommended Prerequisite: Basic math skills *
Length: 1 year
Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12
Student Leadership Organization: SkillsUSA

The students will learn and practice welding techniques necessary for the metal working industry or hobby applications. Individual and group activities are designed to simulate industrial welding operations. A major portion of each class is spent working on projects in a large, well-equipped laboratory classroom. Student will prepare a portfolio of their work. Due to the nature of the tools used and the grading rubric, safety and professionalism are top priorities to be successful and remain in this course. *Appropriate basic math skills to read rulers, add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions, decimals, and whole numbers.

Precision Manufacturing

Credit: CTE, or Elective (or 3rd year math credit if student completed Algebra and Geometry or concurrently enrolled in Geometry.)
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Length: 1 year
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12

Learn to make parts to within a thousandth of an inch! Ever wondered how parts are made for engines and instruments? Do you want to learn how to machine steam engines? This class will teach you how to accurately cut parts on lathes and milling machines. You will learn to use different metalworking machines including manual and CNC mills and lathes. The CorePLUS Manufacturing curriculum (working towards the Boeing sponsored Aerospace machinist Certificate) will also be offered as an option in this class. This is a math intensive class and you can expect to learn geometry, trigonometry and the Cartesian co-ordinate system. Some computer programming (G and M codes) will also be used to control the machines that make the parts we will need to build the boats. Due to the nature of the tools used and the grading rubric, safety and professionalism are top priorities to be successful and remain in this course.

Sign Design A, B

Credit: CTE, Fine Art or Elective
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Length: 1 year
Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12
Student Leadership Organization: SkillsUSA

Make your own signs! Design a message and learn how to make it pop! In this class you get to make signs and stickers while learning to use the professional sign making software, “Corel Draw!”. Output your work with printers, plotters, laser engravers, computer- controlled routers and other manufacturing grade machines. Make signs for yourself, the school and the community. Study why signs are effective, how they change people’s minds and what it takes to be a sign maker. Due to the nature of the tools used and the grading rubric, safety and professionalism are top priorities to be successful and remain in this course.
