315-589-2631 (Machine Shop)/315-589-2632 (Welding Shop)
 

Program Goal: Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Academy students are exposed to Precision Machining, Computer Aided Design and Welding Technologies, experiencing the interaction of multiple technologies in a real manufacturing environment and through field trips to local industries. In the second-year students select an area of concentration in either Engineering, Precision Machining or Welding Technologies.

Curriculum: Over the two-year program students will follow approved industry methods and engineering standards while learning to fabricate industry specific metal products. Students learn to make components from blueprint to completion. Following the design phase, students utilize lathes, surface grinders, drill presses, and power saws. Upon successful completion of the program, students can earn Machining Level I certification. In addition, students learn how to weld using the four different welding processes. In the second year of machining, there is a focus on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining.
