Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction & Design Technologies offers programs that provide hands on, practical education for individuals interested in technical careers. Automotive Technology, Welding, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, and Manufacturing & Energy Technology, all integrate classroom experience with laboratory learning to prepare students for new careers.
Our department also includes several High School Programs, which prepare high school juniors and seniors to enter the working world through career and technical training. Many of these programs are designed for students to continue their education in our FRCC post-secondary programs.
Our Faculty
