Winters Mill High – Applied Mechanical Engineering

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Career & Technology Center This program prepares students for a beginning career as a machinist, production operator, quality control technician, or manufacturing engineering technologist in the computer-enhanced manufacturing environment. The program focuses heavily on hands-on experiences using industrial tools and advanced computer numerically controlled (CNC) equipment. Machinists use their knowledge and understanding of metals and their skills with tools to design, plan, and carry out the processes needed to make products with precise specifications. An engineering technologist works closely with engineers to design, develop, and test industrial and consumer products by applying mathematics and science. Students will learn about workplace safety, teamwork, metallurgy, computer aided manufacturing software, robotics, control systems, project management, fabrication, lean manufacturing, and quality assurance. Throughout the course, students will work toward specific certifications from the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS).
