40 Weeks
1.0 Credit Grades 9-12
Do you like to complete hands-on projects? Would you like to learn how to build and work with metal? Students will complete several hands-on projects that require machining, welding, fabrication and CNC operation with the latest technology in CNC Milling machines and CNC plasma cutting operations. Students will utilize 21st-century skills to design and build various projects that will help build work ethic and create a sense of accomplishment. This class will prepare students with introductory skills for employment options in Welding, Machining Operations and Fabrication.
