The C4 Engineering Manufacturing Technology Cluster introduces students to the various field of Advanced Manufacturing with classes in Project Lead The Way pre-engineering program, Precision Machining, Electronics and Welding. Students have the opportunity to experience aspects of each program of study and still focus on their area of interest. This allows them to participate in advanced manufacturing as they would in a place of business.
Dual Credit Opportunities which count toward the Technical Honors Diploma are available to students who take any of the areas of study in this cluster.

Pathway Documents
Career Pathway documents show students some possible career opportunities that are open to them depending on their interests, strengths and competencies. Meeting the career-related needs of students calls for alignment with career opportunities in authentic work settings. Career Pathways provide a useful framework to aid both students and educators in making those meaningful connections to the working world.
