Automated Manufacturing Technology
MasterCAM instruction prepares students to be able to create geometry on the computer. Once students have drawn; geometry software is used to generate numeric code. Students will be trained to operate a variety of Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) equipment for use in manufacturing their design.
The Program:
Automated Manufacturing Technology
Level I: Algebra I
Students will receive instruction in the use of MasterCAM software to design projects using mechanical engineering principles. Projects will then be manufactured using specialized computer-controlled machines reading Computer Numeric Code (CNC). The class incorporates elements of design and measurement in addition to machine operation enabling the student to complete assigned and personal projects. Students will work with state of the art equipment and will be required to furnish personal supplies. An annual $25.00 lab fee is required.
- Students will be responsible for any consumables used during the completion of personal projects. SkillsUSA and/or FFA membership is encouraged.
- Students may work on selected manufacturing projects outside the regular school day to defray part, or all, of the laboratory fee.
Automated Manufacturing Technology
Level II: Automated Manufacturing Technology I or instructor approval
Students will build on the fundamentals taught in the level one course by learning the operation of additional equipment and through designing more complicated projects. Projects, such as a school ring, will then be manufactured using computer-controlled machines reading numeric code. The class incorporates the fundamentals of mechanisms, robotics, materials handling, pneumatics, hydraulics, sensors, electronics, and specialized welding. Students will work with state of the art equipment and will be required to furnish personal supplies. Welding certification is available for interested students. An annual $25.00 lab fee is required.
- Students will be responsible for any consumables used during the completion of personal projects. See the CRTC web site to view examples of past projects. SkillsUSA and/or FFA membership is encouraged.
- Students may work on selected manufacturing projects outside the regular school day to defray part, or all, of the laboratory fee.
Automated Manufacturing Technology
Level III: Automated Manufacturing Technology I and II
Students will receive advanced instruction in CAD/CAM and CNC. Commercial projects will be designed, manufactured, and marketed to simulate real world engineering, manufacturing and distribution. Students will work with state of the art manufacturing and fabrication equipment. Industry internships will be available to all second year students. Students will be required to furnish personal supplies and equipment. A $25.00 lab fee is required.
- Students will be responsible for any consumables used during the completion of personal projects. See the CRTC web site to view examples of past projects. SkillsUSA and/or FFA membership is encouraged.
- Students may work on selected manufacturing projects outside the
regular school day to defray part, or all, of the laboratory fee
Students will learn about safety, measurement, design, layout, and manufacture of component parts. Students may choose to study a number of related technologies such as pneumatics, robotics, lasers, hydraulics and specialized welding processes.
Students insterested in careers relating to design, engineering, manufacturing, or welding should consider this program as preparation for success in the workplace and the post secondary classroom.
Our program is articulated with the College of Southern Idaho. Providing students with the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school.
American Welding Society (AWS) certification is available to interested students.
