Students learn all aspects of lockout/tagout procedures in industrial environments. Through interactive activities, students learn about lockout devices, conducting energy control analysis, performing lockout/tagout and more.

Industry and Career Skills is a module that aims to prepare high school and college students with the skills required to apply for, and succeed in their first job. The module covers job application topics such as setting career goals, résumé preparation and interview skills. It provides training on basic employment skills such as time management, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, and more.

Math for Technicians II applies advanced mathematics concepts to everyday tasks. Through interactive activities students learn about drive ratios, Ohm’s Law, mechanical principles, and how these concepts apply in the engineering and industrial environments.

Blueprint Reading delivers skills-based curriculum through virtual activities. Students learn all aspects of reading and interpreting blueprints in engineering and industrial environments, including views, tolerances, cutting planes, thread dimensions, and welding symbols

Mechanical Measurement and Quality Control enables students to gain a solid foundation of knowledge and skill in performing measurements and calculations. Students use precision measurement tools, such as steel rule, tape measure, protractor, micrometer, height gauge, various calipers and dial indicators. Students gain proficiency in reading mechanical drawings, in selecting the proper tools for inspecting parts and in preparing quality control/inspection reports.

Fundamentals of Pneumatics introduces the principles of pneumatics and pneumatically controlled systems commonly used in automated manufacturing environments. Pneumatic simulation software allows you to create, modify, operate and observe simulated industrial grade pneumatic and electro-pneumatic devices and circuits. Students will connect different components, change physical parameters and observe system responses. The module emphasizes basic skills in operating simulation software and industrial components.

Lubrication for Technicians conveys skills-based curriculum through virtual and hands-on activities. Students learn about lubrication equipment, application methods lubrication schedules, special purpose greases, synthetic lubricants, packing bearings and more.

Introduction to Advanced Manufacturing introduces the student to the manufacturing industry and its associated career paths. Students learn about careers offered in manufacturing and about how to prepare for and then pursue those careers. Students learn how manufacturing companies operate. A number of common manufacturing technologies are described. The use of computers and automation in manufacturing is explored. Students work on hands-on projects designed to provide insight into the world of manufacturing..

Lean Manufacturing explores the principles and techniques involved in lean manufacturing including minimizing waste in production, improving work flow in industrial processes.

Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) exposes students to automation and industrial applications by combining CNC technology with robotics and materials handling. Students develop and edit programs, record precise robotic positions, accurately mill parts, and synchronize mill and robot operation. Students gain “virtual hands-on” experience in CNC and robot programming, especially in I/O commands. Students design solutions for industrial FMS applications with emphasis on real industrial concerns, such as optimization and accurate machine tending.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is an module which fully replicates industrial CIM using the OpenCIM Software.
