Explore the exciting world of engineering, automation, and digital fabrication in this hands-on, two-year program! Students learn how technology, design, and problem-solving come together to create innovative solutions. Using industry-standard software and advanced equipment, students develop the technical skills and engineering knowledge needed to prepare for college, careers, and future opportunities in a rapidly evolving technological world.
Year 1: Students explore the fundamentals of power systems used in automation and gain hands-on experience with digital fabrication equipment, including industrial 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters. Using industry-standard design software, students bring two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs to life while applying engineering concepts to real-world projects. Students also explore career pathways in engineering, renewable energy, and automated technology.
Year 2: Students build on their foundational skills by troubleshooting and diagnosing automated systems, creating complex 3D designs using SolidWorks, and applying engineering principles to more advanced projects. From designing and building movable 3D-printed components to soldering electrical circuits, students strengthen their technical abilities, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through hands-on learning.
