CIP Code: 15.0613 Description/Overview This three-year program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology prepares individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to the manufacture of products. Includes instruction in measurement, materials and safety; metallurgy; welding; quality control and planning; drill press; turning; milling; grinding; CNC; engineering drawings; job planning, benchwork and layout; welding, machine operations, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM); cost analysis; and robotics/automation.

Project-based units are designed with the flexibility to expand or reduce seat time as appropriate. Student discovery is essential, incorporating “just in time” lessons where necessary. Suggested pacing guides/daily lesson plans have been included, but are optional. Units allow for the use of the most current technology available in district. Curriculum has been deemed “credit-worthy” by postsecondary educators involved in the process, but articulation agreements will need to be negotiated by districts on a case-by-case basis. Course One 1.1 How It Works How are materials, processes, and skills important in creating an object? 1.2 Doorstop How can the material involved in creating a product affect its design and functionality? 1.3 C-Clamp How do you employ various techniques to fabricate a functional tool? 1.4 Screwdriver and Hammer How do you make a shop tool that meets official industry standards incorporating multiple materials? 1.5 Tool Cart How can a client and the availability of materials drive the design of a product? Course Two 2.1 Pin in the Hole Why don’t two manufactured pieces fit together? 2.2 Motor Pump Coupler How do you couple an electric motor to a water pump? 2.3 The Cheap Pump How do you design and build a cost effective air pump? 2.4 Product Improvement How do you assess and improve upon an existing product? 2.5 Moveable Mechanical Lift How do you move a person or object to the correct height? Course Three The third course will need to be established as concurrent enrollment with your partner Community College/postsecondary institution. Suggestions for the third course are Drafting, AutoCAD and/or Engineering Graphics, Metrology and/or Physics.
