Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering

Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering students translate design concepts through sketches, details, assemblies, and specifications. To generate their drawings, Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering students use computer-aided-drafting (CAD) systems, technical handbooks, tables, and calculators. Students increase their general technical knowledge by learning engineering and manufacturing processes used in industry.

The Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering curriculum provides instruction predominately in mechanical drafting, along with limited instruction in architectural, civil, piping, structural, electronic, and electrical drafting. Field trips to local businesses provide a realistic industrial setting of an engineering/design department. Senior students complete a "senior design project" and are also encouraged to participate in the co-op job placement program.

The Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering shop generates drawings required for projects that are being completed by other shops such as Precision Machining, Metal Fabrication, and Carpentry.

Objectives of a Mechanical, Architectural, and Additive Manufacturing Engineering student are accuracy, legibility, neatness, and speed. Students should also have the ability to visualize objects, along with possessing good communication and math skills.

Advisory Board

While we're proud of our vocational programs and their ability to turn young men and women into skilled members of the community, we can't maintain that level of quality without the help of industry professionals. Please consider joining our Vocational Advisory Board, where you will help steer our vocational programs and students toward future success.
