Course Description:
Auto 1
This course introduces the student to the fundamentals of welding. It provides the student with opportunities for hands-on training in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (TIG), gas metal arc welding (MIG) and oxyfuel gas welding. Students will also be instructed in the safe use of plasma cutter, oxyacetylene cutting torch and various saws and grinders, as well as training in welding and machine shop safety. The auto technology class will explore the theory, maintenance, and repair of various automotive vehicle systems. Boththeory and practical application will be covered. Engine, drive train, cooling and lubrication systems, fuel system, suspension-steering, braking, electrical systems, and engine performance will be explained during the one year class. This class will integrate the study of math, science, communication skills, and writing skills applicable to the automotive industry throughout the year.
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12 Year UC/CSU - g - Pending
AUTO II
Prerequisite: Completion of full year of Welding Fabrication 1 with a passing grade. Students will build on the knowledge and skills relating to the transfer of matter and energy through electrical, fluid, thermal and mechanical systems. They will also study more advanced fundamentals of mechanical and structural systems and facilities. Students will explore professional opportunities in the field of agricultural engineering and welding. Integral to this will also be the opportunity to participate in activities developed through a student leadership organization. By participating in this program, students will prepare to matriculate into post-secondary welding and engineering programs. This course provides students will an understanding of manufacturing processes and systems common to careers in welding and related industries. Topics include the interpretation and layout of welded and assembled part prints, mechanical bonding, joining, cohesive bonding, adhesive bonding, and mechanical fastening. Students will learn the safety of fabrication welding. Additionally, this course may be a gateway program for those students interested in pursuing a post-secondary study in mechanical and structural engineering. Skills USA involvement and leadership are a required part of this course and will expose students to careers, leadership skills and achievement opportunities.
