Engineering Support Technologies 1- Introduction to Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technologies
Prerequisite: NONE
Learn to take an idea and create a product prototype.  In this course, the student will learn to model in 3D, program parts and build a product.  This introductory course provides our young engineers with the mechanical background necessary for successful engineering design.  This course utilizes the most up-to-date industry leading software for engineering and manufacturing (SolidWorks and MasterCAM), as well as our machine shop.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Support Technologies 2- Intermediate Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technologies
Prerequisite: EST 1, or instructor consent
Learn to model and render ideas, 3D programming, and advanced manufacturing technologies (including programming for CNC applications).  In this course, the student will take learn to create production drawings and custom program them for CNC manufacturing.  This course is an extension of EST 1 and will build upon those skills.
------------------------------------------------------------------
ROP Engineering for Manufacturing
Prerequisite: EST 1, or instructor consent
Learn to design for manufacturability.  In the shop, students will become more proficient with automated manufacturing and further refine/develop skills in milling, turning and welding.  The focus in this class is to prepare the students for work in the manufacturing shop environment, including CNC programming and metalworking skills.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Support Technologies 3- Intermediate Applications of Engineering Design and Manufacturing
Prerequisite: EST 2, or instructor consent
Learn to design for manufacturability and advanced modeling techniques.  In the shop, students will become more proficient with automated manufacturing and further refine/develop skills in milling, turning and welding.  The focus of this class is on intermediate and advanced concepts in parametric modeling and engineering design.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Support Technologies 4- Advanced Applications of Engineering Design and Manufacturing
Prerequisite: EST 3, or instructor consent
Innovate...  In this course, the student will design and manufacture a minimum of four custom items for a variety of competitions.  Students will also learn about specifying manufacturing controls and documenting them through the use of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

Engineering Peer Teacher- Foreman
Prerequisite: EST 2, 3 or 4, AND instructor consent
In this course, students practice the leadership and management skills learned from SkillsUSA.  Peer Teachers manage the moment to moment hands-on demonstrations that are needed during class.  This course is similar to a foreman level management position, and the student is held accountable to those standards of conduct and professionalism.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Teaching Assistant- Foreman
Prerequisite: EST 2, 3 or 4, AND instructor consent
In this course, students learn the day to day management of materials and manufacturing processes including equipment maintenance and repair. This course is similar to a foreman level management position, and the student is held accountable to those standards of conduct and professionalism.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Special Projects
Prerequisite: EST 2, 3 or 4, AND instructor consent
In this course, students create a project contract, and work towards the creation of a product and fulfillment of the contract requirements. This class is for the self-motivated student who wants to either challenge themselves or explore a set of technologies in greater depth.
