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 200 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 dates that are
still available listed below, and through
Robin Foleen in the PAVTEC office (robin.foleen@pcc.edu or 971-722-7734).
(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:
9:15 – 9:30 Buses to arrive, there will not
be any staff or student help if they arrive
any earlier.
9:30 - 9:45 Orientation to the PCC Machine
Manufacturing Technology program
9:45 - 12:00 Students will divide into three
groups and rotate every 45 minutes between a
tour of the Sylvania Campus and shop-project
work. Last year, students built their very
own mini flashlights using a variety of
mills, lathes and CNC machines, as well as
participating in a Mastercam demo. Students
get a firsthand 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
hammers, parallel clamps, and bottle openers.
12:00 - 12:30 Lunch (provided) Engineering
program will give a presentation
12:30 - 2:00 Students will be divided into
two groups and rotate between the
Engineering lab and Electronics Engineering
lab.
2:00 Buses arrive to pickup students.
