This is a semester-long club that focuses on projects, training, and more to prepare you for a career in technology.
The Engineering with Mechanical Design Club at CareerTek is a 12-week (one semester) long club in which students are taking on different projects and learning skills in engineering and automation.
The skills/focuses in this program include:
- Solidworks
- How to read a blueprint
- How to create assemblies
- Mechanical structures
- CAD/CAM
- CNC Mill
- 3D Printing
- CSWA and CSWP Industry Certification in Mechanical Design and Engineering
