PRE-VOC MACHINE SHOP/WELDING - This is a nine week course in which 4 ½ weeks will be devoted to machine shop and 4 ½ weeks will be devoted to welding. The students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of basic theories and applications associated with the machinist field. Knowledge and use of machinist safety rules and machine shop tools and equipment will be taught by spending the majority of the time in the shop and completing projects to the satisfaction of the instructor. The students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of welding with a shield metal arc process and welding on medium thickness of steel and single and multipass, using DC welding machines in several projects throughout the course.

AVOCATIONAL WOODS I - The students will learn to identify and use common hand tools and woodworking equipment. They will perform introductory level operations on woodworking machinery and be cognizant of accident prevention. They will learn to recognize the different materials used in the industry. The learner will develop an insight into the industry and its occupational opportunities. The cost of class project will be $40.00.

AVOCATIONAL WOODS II - (Prerequisite: Avo Woods I) The major emphasis of this course will relate to design and construction of fine furniture and cabinetry, accident prevention, and the use of major woodworking equipment. The development of speed and accuracy by each student will be taught through the use of modern machinery and time saving procedures. Students will be asked to pay for all materials involved in making a project of their choice.

SMALL GAS ENGINES - This is a course offering in which the students will be provided with basic information on small engine construction, how systems operate, fabrication requirements, preventive maintenance practices, servicing techniques and rebuilding procedures. Students must bring a small gas engine to class.

CAR CARE - Car Care is a course in basic auto survival. The student will learn the procedures for buying and maintaining their own automobile. Vehicle system operation, routine maintenance and simple repairs will be covered. Students will spend half their time in the classroom and half in the shop. Students must have access to a vehicle for use during shop activities (required). This course stresses the concepts that every automobile owner needs to know about their vehicle.

AVOCATIONAL MACHINE SHOP - Students are given the basic theory on machine tools, hand tools, and measuring devices peculiar to the machinist trade. The theory or classroom work takes up a minimum amount of time with most of the class being spent in the lab or shop in a "hands on" setting. The completion of several projects is required during the course. Students are also rotated through a series of jobs to give them the opportunity to become familiar with the "tools of the trade".

AVOCATIONAL WELDING - This is a course providing the students an opportunity for a good background in welding safety and theory and to provide them a minimum of practice in the arc welding or hands on MIG welding.

MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY I & II - Students interested in technical careers in the manufacturing industry are prepared to start work after high school. The main objective of this course is to provide students the job entry skills necessary to safely operate the machine tools used in manufacturing. The course covers the proper use of hand tools, measuring devices, machine tools, computer aided drafting, computer numerical control, and related subjects. Manufacturing is taught by the actual set-up and operation of various machine tools. The student will manufacture numerous projects during the two year course and make replacement parts for different types of equipment.

WELDING I & II - The vocational welding course is a two year program with the primary objective of preparing students with job entry level skills in the welding trade. The course covers the proper use and care of hand tools, safety, oxyacetylene cutting, plasma arc cutting and welding, arc welding, tig and mig welding and other related subjects.

CARPENTRY I & II - This course is designed to provide a student training for gainful employment with entry level skills. The course includes an introduction, fundamental knowledge, and training in the basic skills. The student will have an opportunity to develop skills and techniques through the actual construction of a residential house. Approximately one-third of the class time will be concentrated on advanced cabinet and furniture making. Students will be required to construct one or more wood projects.

AUTO TECHNOLOGY I - Automobile Technology I is an in-depth study of the automobile, its systems, and repair procedures used in the automobile service industry. The course covers the diagnosis and repair of the braking system, front and rear suspension systems, alignment, engine, transmission, and powertrain to industry standards. Job entry skills will be stressed. Students will work on mock-ups provided and time will be scheduled for work on their own vehicles.
