Graphic Communication Systems
Students participate in learning activities that focus on audio and visual
communication systems. Emphasis is on problem solving and practical application of
graphic art and electronic communication principles. The students will expand their
knowledge of technology by producing in-depth work related to video and audio
production, graphic design, desktop publishing, computer aided design (CAD), screen
printing, problem solving, digital photography, digital scanning, Animation and solid
Modeling.
Manufacturing Technology
Students will learn about manufacturing and the metals industry through in-class
lectures, activities, videos, and hands on projects. Students will have the opportunity to
operate machining tools that are seldom seen in a home environment. They will be
exposed to emerging information regarding manufacturing and welding. Students will
make projects from metal that they will take home with them.
Mechanics
This is a basic course designed to familiarize students with advanced theoretical as well
as practical aspects of internal combustion engines. Sections on electricity, hydraulics
and mechanical related areas will be covered. Student experiences will be enhanced
through the use of hands on projects and activities.
Metal Processing
This course is designed to concentrate on the different processes used to fabricate
metal products. In a combination of lab and classroom activities, students will be
exposed to machining, welding, lathe work, robotics, and computer numerical control
processes.
Yearbook
In this course students will learn how a Yearbook is created and produced. Students will
learn Page layout and design, elements and principles of design, writing styles,
advertising, photography, and all other aspects of “Desktop Publishing”. This class also
entails a lot of computer work on an assortment of software. The publication of the
“Yearbook” will take place in this class
Wood Processing
This course provides students with a general introduction to woodworking. It involves a
hands-on approach to learning with most of the class time spent on lab activities.
Students will operate hand and power tools used in the woodworking industries. They will
construct products with design, woodworking, and mass production facets.
