Learning comes to life in the Advanced Manufacturing program! Our students recently put their engineering and problem-solving skills to work by creating a hydraulic car lift using Hot Wheels cars as their miniature vehicles.
Through this hands-on project, students explored how hydraulic systems work while designing, building, and testing their own lifts. Using a fun, scaled-down model allowed students to see engineering concepts in action while practicing creativity, teamwork, and troubleshooting skills.
We love seeing our students take what they learn in the classroom and turn it into something they can build, test, and improve! Great job, Advanced Manufacturing! 👏









CTC Year 2 students revised their previous resumes, completed a practice online format job application, & composed an elevator pitch to prepare for the upcoming district College & Career Fair next week as well as their clinical experiences in workplace settings.










Our Logistics & Supply Chain students had the opportunity to learn from a special guest, Dr. Barron, State Program Supervisor for Supply Chain & Transportation.
Dr. Barron shared his knowledge, experience, and insight into the supply chain and transportation industry, giving students a valuable opportunity to learn more about the field and the many career possibilities it offers.
Our students also had the chance to show off their classroom and share what they’ve been learning by giving Dr. Barron a tour of their Logistics & Supply Chain lab.
We appreciate Dr. Barron taking the time to visit our students, share his expertise, and encourage the next generation of supply chain professionals! 🚛📦👏

Our Advanced Manufacturing students recently got hands-on experience learning an important practical skill—how to change and plug a tire! Students learned about the proper tools, techniques, and safety procedures involved in repairing and replacing a tire.
The learning didn’t stop with Advanced Manufacturing, either! Four of our Law Enforcement students joined in at the end to get a peek at what was happening and learn more about the process themselves.
A special shout-out and thank you to Mr. Nichols for donating his time today, providing a tire for the students to practice on, and sharing his knowledge and instruction with our students. We truly appreciate his willingness to help provide this valuable hands-on learning experience!
We love seeing our students explore new skills, collaborate across programs, and take advantage of every opportunity to learn something new!
