Student Career Days
PAVTEC, the Machine Manufacturing Department
and Engineering Departments are hosting
another round of Student Career Days at PCC
Sylvania Campus. Last year, nearly 150 high
school students came to campus and split
their time between the Machine Manufacturing
and Engineering programs.
Because of safety and student interest
considerations, the
maximum
number of students a day is limited to 25.
Please hold to this maximum for safety
considerations. This number does not
include teacher/chaperone count.
Schools can choose from the following dates
and need to schedule a date through Jacqlyn
Stephanson in the PAVTEC office (jstephan@pcc.edu,
503-614-7737).
(All are Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. - 2:00
p.m.)

There will be a variety of activities
including hands-on learning opportunities
providing students with an insight into what
today's Machinists, Civil/Mechanical and
Electrical Engineers and related occupations
do in the field.
Here's a brief description of what a day
might look like:
9:30 - 12:00 Overview of day, students start
out in the Machine Manufacturing area. Last
year, students built their very own mini
ball peen hammers using a variety of mills,
lathes and CNC machines, as well as
participating in a Mastercam demo. Students
get a first hand look at what it is like to
be a student at PCC by touring the campus.
(This year's project is yet to be
determined. In previous years, students
have manufactured miniature ball peen
hammer, parallel clamp and bottle opener.)
12:00 - 12:30 Lunch (provided)
12:30 - 2:00 Students will visit the
engineering programs (to learn how to become
engineers) as well as the engineering
technology programs (to learn about how to
become technicians).
Please RSVP as soon as possible to so
appropriate accommodations can be made and
to reserve lunches.
