CAMILLUS, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Onondaga Community College’s Micron-related Electromechanical Technology (ELM) program is currently taught at six area high schools.
The program teaches foundational skills and allows high school students to take college-level courses for free.
“I think it’s great you’ll have the foundation of how to use the machines, the tools, different skills, problem-solving, the design process that gets you that upper hand that puts you ahead of other students,” Ryan Tabaczyk, a senior at West Genesee who took the ELM course, said.
Students get hands-on experience with hand tools, machines, and measuring devices.
