Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering & Data/Emerging Technologies Pathways

The Morgan School is home to a unique, dual-pathway Career & Technical Education program that prepares students for success in the evolving world of Industry 4.0 and 5.0. These pathways—Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering and Data/Emerging Technologies—offer students hands-on, interdisciplinary experiences grounded in real-world applications, system thinking, and technological craftsmanship. The Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering Pathway focuses on precision machining, computer-aided manufacturing, quality control, and design engineering. Students build foundational skills through coursework in Engineering & Manufacturing I–III, Principles of Engineering, and engage with industry-standard tools such as CNC mills and lathes in a fully equipped manufacturing lab. Through coursework and projects, students learn about inventory systems, statistical process control (SPC), robotics, and lean manufacturing practices. Students also develop advanced competencies in problem-solving and design through an emphasis on technical drawing, prototyping, and fabrication. The Data/Emerging Technologies Pathway explores the intersection of computer science, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Students progress from foundational courses in Robotics and Cybersecurity to advanced experiences in AP Computer Science Principles, applied programming, and system integration. The pathway is designed to reflect real-world challenges faced in smart manufacturing environments, including monitoring, modeling, and securing connected systems. Students work on interdisciplinary projects and applied technologies such as networked sensors, data visualization, and predictive analytics. Together, these pathways function as a hub of excellence for next-generation manufacturing and applied technologies. Students gain early exposure to modern career pathways and are encouraged to participate in collaborative industry-facing projects, internships, and apprenticeships. The Morgan School partners with local manufacturers, industry leaders, and higher education institutions to ensure that its programs remain cutting-edge, relevant, and aligned with workforce needs.

Program Name:
Manufacturing Career Pathway

The Manufacturing Career Pathway provides students with a hands-on, career-focused introduction to the modern manufacturing industry and related trades. Students initially explore the fundamentals of manufacturing processes, technologies, and workplace practices while gaining insight into career opportunities in manufacturing, automotive technology, and auto body repair. This exploratory experience helps students understand the skills, tools, and safety procedures essential to the field. Building on this foundation, the advanced manufacturing courses allow students to focus on three chosen areas of interest, applying their knowledge through real-world experiences in a manufacturing facility. Students develop advanced technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and industry-specific competencies that enhance their employability in manufacturing and skilled trades. Successful completion of the full sequence can qualify students for a 200-hour Pre-Apprenticeship Certification from the State of Connecticut, preparing them for direct entry into the workforce or further technical training.

Program Name:
Manufacturing and Automated Materials Processing

Westbrook High School offers two pathway options within its Manufacturing and Automated Materials Processing Pathway. Students may enroll in a Robotics program which includes two courses in robotics as well as AP Computer Science and AP Computer Science A. Students may also enroll two Design and Engineering courses. Students in the robotics option are encouraged to join the school's Vex Robotics Competition Team. The second pathway option focuses on welding and metal fabrication and includes four metals and welding courses in the school's newly enlarged and renovated welding and metals fabrication lab space. Students in the welding and metals fabrication pathway option are also encouraged to enroll in the school's two Design and Engineering courses and the school's two Power courses. Students in Grades 11 and 12 are encouraged to participate in The Boat Next Gen program sponsored through the school's partnership with General Dynamics Electric Boat. Westbrook students are exposed to manufacturing as early as 5th grade when they participate in The Boat for Kids program when students explore the six manufacturing trades most important to the Submarine Industrial Base. Elementary age students are also able to participate in a robotics program. Middle school students in Westbrook participate in the Sea Perch Robotics Program sponsored by the school's partnership with General Dynamics Electric Boat or can participate in a new electronics course offered by Milestone C.
