Eastern Alamance High School “Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle” EXPECT SUCCESS!

CTE: Career and Technical Education

Fall semester 2019 Volume 6 Issue 1

CTE Teachers become students during the summer!

Mr. Smith and Mrs. Johnson participated in the week-long ACC MechTech Institute in June. During this time, they became students in the

AATC building, which houses most of the skilled trades (welding,

automotive, machining, HVAC). They were given the opportunity to work with currently

enrolled ACC Mechatronic students on PLC’s to understand AC voltage and current. In

addition, they got to assemble a robotic arm (see the robotic arm in Mr. Smith’s classroom

or Mrs. Johnson’s office (A1)). This institute is an initiative to

educate teachers in an effort to

recruit students to the Mechatronics field. There is an

urgent need to train people in this

field as local employers are

seeing a decreased number of skilled workers for positions.
