The Engineering and Manufacturing Program at Beaumont High School offers a comprehensive three-year curriculum designed to impart industry-standard knowledge and cultivate a passion for engineering and manufacturing careers or further education.
 
First Year
During the initial year, students delve into the fundamental aspects of the design process, exploring the intricate elements of design and their applications in graphic and computer-aided design (CAD) software. Through hands-on projects utilizing industry-standard tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Autodesk Fusion 360, students gain practical experience. They further hone their skills with access to cutting-edge equipment like Epilog Lasers and Bambu Labs 3D printers. Additionally, students receive foundational training in electrical engineering and computer programming, utilizing languages such as C+ and Arduino microcontrollers.
 
 
Second Year
The second year builds upon this foundation by integrating advanced computer technologies into manufacturing processes. Students delve into the utilization of industry-standard 3D modeling and programming software, including Autodesk Fusion 360 for both CAD and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Practical application is emphasized through the use of industry-standard CNC equipment, such as Haas CNC machines. Students refine their skills in tool operation, encompassing selection, feeds and speed calculations, tool path optimization, and comprehensive setup and fixturing of parts. Furthermore, students engage in basic part inspection using a range of precision measuring tools, including the Zeiss Duramax CMM. The curriculum incorporates the Titans of CNC / CNC Expert program, enabling students to earn industry certifications in CAD, CAM, and CNC.
 
 
Third Year
In the final year, students embark on an articulated course recognized by MSJC, which aligns with their Engineering 121 program. Building upon their mathematical proficiency, students delve into college-level print reading, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and further refine their CAD skills, earning the Autodesk Fusion 360 User Certificate. Additionally, students expand their practical knowledge by operating manual machining equipment, including mills and lathes. The curriculum also encompasses foundational training in fabrication, welding, and forming techniques, while also introducing students to essential processes involved in finishing and plating of parts.
 
 
Graduating seniors have the opportunity to apply for tool and tuition scholarships, generously provided by our esteemed program sponsors.
Thank you to our program's sponsors and their continued support over the last 6 years!
