Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing (MEAM)

One of New Jersey's Leading Pre-Engineering & Advanced Manufacturing Programs

Design it. Program it. Manufacture it. Test it.  Welcome to SCVTHS Engineering, where pre-engineering meets modern manufacturing.  By integrating college-prep engineering and design with hands-on mastery of computer automated manufacturing tools such as 4-axis CNC machining, 3D printing, industrial automation and robotics, we prepare the next generation of engineers for the rigors of university and the realities of modern manufacturing.

Congressman Leonard Lance visited our shop. Our students treated Mr. Lance to a real world production operation which included raw material handling and processing, primary machining on CNC mill & lathe, finishing operations on manual mill, surface grinder and belt sander and finally, quality control. In addition, students showed off their emerging skills in robotics development and programing and ended the day by creating a 3D model of Mr. Lance.
