Metals and Aerospace Technology
This program will provide training on machine tools such as engine lathes,
milling machines, surface grinders, bandsaws, drilling machines, shears, brakes
and bending machines. Instruction in blueprint reading, drafting, practical
mathematics and measuring tools is combined with all of the courses. In addition,
training will be given in various welding processes including oxy-acetylene
welding, electric arc welding, Metal Inert Gas (M.I.G) and Tungsten Inert Gas
(T.I.G) welding.
The program, with its high transferability and flexibility will bring the
student to a state of preparedness to enter the workforce, or to continue on
to secondary education with knowledge and capability.
Instruction on state of the art computers is included in the advanced course
of Computer Numerically Controlled (C.N.C) Machining. Computer Aided Drafting

RV-6A
The RV-6A is an actual 2 seater, all metal aircraft that students and mentors
are building from scratch in partnership with Tec-Voc. This is an exciting
and ambitious addition to the program and upon completion, this aircraft will
fly! Students have the
opportunity to acquire the skills associated with aircraft design, structure
and construction while using a "hands-on" method of learning. This
training begins at the senior 2 level and will be ongoing until its satisfactory
completion.
