Engineering Programs

There are six different engineering programs available at the JATC. Students may sign up for as many as they would like each year based on their interest and schedules. None of the programs require you to have taken any of the others.

Engineering: Principles is an exploratory program intended to introduce students to the seven fields of engineering and teach them foundational skills. It consists of two courses: Engineering Principles 1 and Engineering Principles 2. These same classes are available at Herriman, Copper Hills, and Bingham. Students from those high schools are encouraged to take the courses at their home high school as it is the exact same course taught at the JATC. This program is available to 10th-12th grade students. This is a hands on program where students will use observations and concepts common to a variety of different engineering disciplines, utilizing problem solving skills in a laboratory environment, and develop skills and attitudes that impact and expand occupational opportunities in engineering.

 

Engineering: Mechanical is a program intended to give students Computer Aided Drafting (CAD aka 3D modelling) foundational skills. It consists of two courses: Mechanical Design 1 and Mechanical Design 2 where students will learn how to model and prepare 2D and 3D representations in support of mechanical and industrial engineering projects as well as for other related professions. Students will learn how to visually represent their ideas and document up to engineering standard.

 

Engineering: Technician is a program in collaboration with SLCC's Engineering Technology Certification Program and consists of courses: Manual Machine Shop, CNC Machining, Engineering Graphics, and Engineering Mathematics. With the two machining classes students will gain basic skills to work in a manual machine shop and also programming CNC machines. Students will be able to model using an CAD modeling software to create different parts that can then be programmed onto the CNC machines and create a physical part.

 

Engineering: Aerospace consists of two courses : Aerospace Engineering and UAS: Design and Maintain. This program propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students bring the concepts to life by designing gliders, rockets, and more. The program introduces students to the basics of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) structure. Using the engineering design process, student will design and develop UAVs for specific scenarios.

 

Engineering: Robotics includes four courses: Robotics 1, Robotics 2, Electronics 1, and Electronics 2. This program combines electrical, mechanical, and engineering principles. Students will learn to design, build, program, and control robotic devices. This lab based and hands on program teaches students to assemble and operate electronic systems. Students will learn to design and build circuits and create schematic diagrams.

 

Engineering: Architecture consists of four courses: Architecture & Civil Engineering, Architectural CAD 1, Architectural CAD 2 and Architectural CAD 3. These courses will introduce students to architecture and important aspects of building and site design and development. They will apply what they have learned to design a residential and commercial building. Computer Aided Design (CAD) will be used to create these projects to bring them to life.

 

Engineering: Certificate Completer consists of two courses: Mathematics & Technology and Leadership & Team Building. Mathematics & Technology shows how technology improves students’ mathematical literacy to increase problem-solving skills in the sciences. Leadership & Team Building will develop human relations skills in the context of various organizational theories to help them thrive in their chosen professions.
