Program Description
Redefine what is possible through CAD and Engineering Technologies!  Students learn and execute industrial processes of design, manufacturing and inspection for accuracy.  Students will be prepared for careers in the engineering, advanced manufacturing and architectural career fields.  Students will network with industry experts for career exploration and potential internships.  Upon successful completion of the program, students will be eligible to earn college credits (CTAG) to any Ohio public university for computer integrated manufacturing, CNC with industrial mills, lathes and manufacturing operation.

In early 2025, the new Manufacturing and Engineering Center at Theodore Roosevelt High School will be complete!  This 3,500 square-foot state-of-the-art addition to the existing lab space will provide an optimal environment for students to be prepared for entry-level manufacturing and engineering employment or post-secondary studies.
