(3) Precision Metal Manufacturing I will provide the
knowledge, skills, and technologies required for employment in precision
machining. While the course is designed to provide necessary skills
in machining, it also provides a real-world foundation for any engineering
discipline. This course may address a variety of materials such as
plastics, ceramics, and wood in addition to metal. Students will develop
knowledge of the concepts and skills related to precision metal manufacturing
to apply them to personal and career development. This course supports
integration of academic and technical knowledge and skills. Students
will have opportunities to reinforce, apply, and transfer knowledge
and skills to a variety of settings and problems. Knowledge about
career opportunities, requirements, and expectations and the development
of workplace skills prepare students for success. This course is designed
to provide entry-level employment for the student or articulated credit
integration into a community college and dual credit with a community
college with completion of the advanced course.
(4) Students are encouraged to participate in extended
learning experiences such as career and technical student organizations
and other leadership or extracurricular organizations.
