Our department is very proud to be involved in the Tech Prep program. The Introduction to Technology class works with science, math, communications, and computer application classes to provide various classroom activities. The technology class uses various technology applications, such as robotics, computer-aided drafting, computer aided manufacturing, flexible manufacturing systems and electronic communication network. We strongly emphasize computer use and application of the math and science principles used in industry. Our manufacturing classes focus students on practices of manufacturing and its relationship withing our society.
Materials used in our manufacturing are wood, metal and plastics.
The study of these materials will include presentations on the characteristics and properties as well as the processes and resources. In communications our students explore electronics, drafting, CAD, and graphic design areas. Construction technology allows an opportunity to understand how our enviornment was built, is being and will be built in the future. The impact of technology on industry is visible everywhere. The skills needed in today's industry are often not simple mechanical or electrical skills but more essential skills.
