MHJF Robot Operator Certification
The Fundamentals of Robotics course exposes participants to the essentials of robotics theory and certifies them for the operation of the MHJF robotic arm and FS100 controller.
Throughout the course, students learn how to perform skills such as manipulating the robot, creating basic motion programs, resolving errors, defining coordinate systems, outlining interference areas and programming and interacting with the RoboCell robotic simulation software. Most of the course content is presented in the form of classroom activities (referred to simply as “activities”) and laboratory activities (“lab activities”). Both of these terms will be defined in the sections below.
The course concludes with a practical exam, which the students must pass to obtain Motoman Operator Certification. Candidates that successfully complete the practical exam are then eligible to take the final certification exam, which is a test composed of 40 multiple choice questions about the Motoman system and robotic theory.

The Computer Integrated Manufacturing 1 module 
In the Introduction to Industrial Design course, students redesign a simple office supply product, learn and practice technical drawing techniques, and are introduced to how products are made. They explore what reverse engineering is, the importance of patents, as well as rapid prototyping. They will also use 3D design software 
The Engineering Application Series (EAS) provides students the opportunity to master critical academic, workplace, and life skills while solving real-world challenges. Students solve problems by navigating the design loop process using a unique "Challenge Script” and a variety of worksheets.
Introduction to Engineering provides students an excellent overview of the field of engineering. This 20-hour course engages students with topics such as an overview of the history of engineering, career choices and the engineering design process. Multi-level hands-on activities involve product design, career seeking and ethics. To conclude the course, a capstone project challenges students to explore engineering. 
In the Mechanisms course, students examine various components of mechanisms including gears, pulleys, levers, and more. They create several of these simple machines to observe their operation first-hand. The course also instructs students on the calculation of mechanical advantage, force, friction, work, and other measurements associated with mechanisms.
