Art and Tech learners will be challenged to find creative solutions to assigned projects.  Art and metalworking will be combined to create work that requires technical expertise with inventiveness.  Learners will create functional and aesthetic objects using techniques ranging from found object assemblage to CNC design.  If you are creative and interested in using ferrous metal or if you have interest in metal tech you are invited to this cross-curricular experience.

Machine Tool Theory is a class for learners that are serious about furthering their machining knowledge and skills.  Whether your plans are to pursue a career as a machinist, or just improve your quality of work, this class might be for you.  Students will learn shop safety, machine print reading, and work on skills using a metal lathe, milling machine, drills, and various cutting tools.  You will spend the majority of the time on the machines with guided instruction, while working towards industry competencies.  This class is for learners that are self-motivated and respond well to constructive criticism.  No prior machine shop experience is necessary. 

This course introduces learners to many aspects of computer-aided design and manufacturing.  During the course, learners will be exposed to numerous CNC equipment throughout the MHS Technology Education department.  Learners will work through the process of programming, setup, and running of CNC equipment.  Each piece of equipment will have a hands-on project that students will design and create.  This class is intended for learners that are interested in pursuing a career in the areas of machining, programming, and engineering.
