Intermediate Welding
Course Code: 705220
Grades: 10,11,12
Course Length: Year
Students will continue to practice skills learned in the Welding Tech Entry course. In addition, students will learn and practice the following welding processes: flux core arc welding (FCAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), and carbon air arc cutting (CAC). Blueprint reading, including weld symbols, will also be studied. Once assigned, welds are passed, and personal projects may be constructed at the student’s own expense. Prerequisite: Welding Tech Entry. Pre-req. – Welding technician, Metalworking 1 or teacher approval.
What should I be able to know or do to take the class?
