Manufacturing Starts Here

Today’s manufacturers need more than machine operators. They need problem solvers, innovators, designers, and leaders. 

Trojan Manufacturing gives students the opportunity to experience mdoern manufacturing from concept to completion. Students learn precision machining, welding, fabrication, blueprint reading, CAD/CAM design, CNC programming, measurement, quality control, and manufacturing processes while creating projects they can proudly showcase. 

Every lesson emphasizes hands-on learning because the best way to understand manufacturing is by building something youself.
