The Systems Tech Program is offered to all juniors and seniors and prepares students who may want to enter or further their education in welding and metal fabrication. For students who want to learn more about this field sooner, they can take one of the Metals and/or Welding elective courses as a freshman and/or sophomore. Skills in this career field are in high demand and students are also prepared to enter a PreApprenticeship program their senior year.

Senior Year Overview

Senior students will develop knowledge and skills necessary for installing, maintaining and safely troubleshooting modern industrial machinery. Seniors will learn about pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical systems as well as how to troubleshoot electrical controls, sensors and actuators for automated machinery and manufacturing processes. In addition, students will learn the fundamental principles and practices of cutting, drilling and grinding using modern machine tools, hand tools and precision measuring instruments.

Systems Tech students also participate in the Lancaster SkillsUSA chapter, where they gain many valuable leadership skills and can compete at the regional, state and national level. Students can begin working in the industry their senior year to get a headstart on their careers!
