WELDING & FABRICATION

WELDING & FABRICATION I 753

1 credit

The Welding & Fabrication Program will introduce students to the concepts and practices in welding and fabrication. This course will introduce students with the working knowledge, skills, and theory in the characteristics of metals and welding technologies. Students will learn to safely use metal Go to Table of Contents 99 working equipment and tools and earn their OSHA 10 Hour Health and Safety card. Through a combination of hands-on experiences and theory, students will learn how to layout and fabricate various components. Students will develop a working knowledge of structural weld joint fit-up/weld symbols, and burning and grinding operations through the use of blueprints and templates. Work assignments and assessments will be accomplished using the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) Welding, Introduction to Maritime Industries, and Maritime Structural Fitter. The program is certified by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). Students will have opportunities to produce work that meet the requirements for Expectations 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the Graduation Portfolio.

WELDING & FABRICATION II 763

1 credit

Welding & Fabrication II will build upon student’s working knowledge, skills, and theory of metals and welding technologies from the previous year. Students continue to learn through a combination of hands-on practical assignments and theory. As always safety is paramount as they layout and fabricate various components with an increased emphasis on print reading and joint fit-up. Work assignments and assessments will be accomplished using the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) Welding, Introduction to Maritime Industries, and Maritime Structural Fitter. The program is certified by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER. Students will have opportunities to produce work that meet the requirements for Expectations 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the Graduation Portfolio.

WELDING & FABRICATION III 785

2 credits

Welding & Fabrication III will build upon students working knowledge, skills, and theory of metals and welding technologies from the previous year through a combination of hands-on practical assignments and theory with the introduction of sheet metal and pipefitting. Students will be introduced to TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW Spray and Pulse) processes in the flat positions as they strengthen their practice in out of position welding in Stick (SMAW), and Flux Core. As always, safety and 21st Century Workplace Readiness Skills are at the core of the curriculum as students prepare for their future. Work assignments and assessments will be accomplished using the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) Welding, and Maritime Structural Fitter. The program is certified by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). A career related internship during or after the school day is strongly recommended. In this course, students will have opportunities to produce work that may meet the requirements for the Graduation Portfolio.

WELDING & FABRICATION IV 786

1 credit

As in the previous three years, Welding & Fabrication IV continues to build upon students working knowledge, skills, and theory of metals and welding technologies. Students will weld in out of position in all of the GMAW processes. Students will have an opportunity to specialize and select additional training TIG (GTAW) and pipe welding. Safety and 21st Century Workplace Readiness Skills continue to be at the core of the curriculum as students prepare for graduation. A career related internship during or after the school day is strongly recommended. These student activities are designed to enhance students’ skill levels toward achievement of American Welding Society certification and/or American Society of Mechanical Engineering welding certification. The appropriate use of technology and industry-standard equipment is an integral part of this course. The program is certified and utilizes curriculum assignments and assessments by the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research).
