Manufacturing Systems
WVEIS 2442
This course will introduce students to the basic elements of the manufacturing industry. This course provides opportunities for
students to study and apply technological systems, concepts, and processes in the development and operation of a student
manufacturing enterprise. Group and individual activities engage students in creating ideas, developing innovations, and
implementing design solutions as they relate to manufacturing systems. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and
manipulative skills while completing laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Safety instruction is
integrated into all activities. Students are encouraged to become active members of the Technology Student Association (TSA),
which is an integral component of the program and provides curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement. The West
Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and 21st Century
Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning
skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
