This class is a prerequisite for the Welding and Fabrication Class.

This semester-long course will provide students with an introduction to Welding and Manufacturing processes. Participants will gain knowledge of welding and machining methodologies, with a strong emphasis on safety protocols, which will be integrated throughout the course. The welding component will cover topics such as Measuring Systems, Fundamental Metallurgy, Blueprint Interpretation, and the arc welding techniques of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), in addition to the operation and setup of Plasma Cutting and Oxy-fuel Cutting equipment. The manufacturing segment will involve the application of various metal forming tools and machinery, including brakes, shears, and bandsaws. Students will demonstrate their competencies by designing and fabricating two or more metal projects.

Prerequisite: Welding 1 & Manufacturing

This year-long course allows students to build upon the skills acquired in Welding 1. Welding 2 is a project-centered course that includes some independent study components. Participants will engage in “Project G.R.I.L.L.,” which guides them through the entire process of transforming an idea from concept to production, resulting in a fully functional grill while utilizing the Engineering Design Process. Students will have the opportunity to design and develop their own projects and submit detailed plans to the instructor for approval. Upon completion of this course, students will have enhanced their skills and knowledge by successfully developing and executing various projects. As part of the independent study segment, students will also complete the HAAS basic mill operator certification course and earn their OSHA 10 Industry Card.

Prerequisite: Welding 1 & Manufacturing, Welding 2 & Fab and Instructor approval.

This year-long course enables students to advance the skills gained in Welding 1 and Welding 2. The class is project-centered and incorporates components of independent study. Participants will be in their second year of “Project G.R.I.L.L.” and will take on leadership roles within the project. They will guide their peers through the process of transforming concepts into production, culminating in the creation of a fully functional grill while employing the Engineering Design Process. Students will have the opportunity to design and develop their own projects and submit detailed plans to the instructor for approval. Upon completion of this course, students will have enhanced their leadership skills and expertise by successfully overseeing the development and execution of various projects. Additionally, as part of the independent study segment, students will complete a certification in Leadership & Management.

This class is an introduction to the wood shop and woodworking as a whole. We focus on building a foundational knowledge of using the machinery in a safe manner. In this class we learn the basics of woodworking, cover shop math, reading project blueprints, and making increasingly difficult projects to gain hands-on experience in what we cover. This class is taught in a group manner and builds confidence in using the machinery.

Prerequisite: C or higher in Woods 1

This class builds upon the foundation made in Woods 1 in order to be able to work more independently in the woodshop to make more complex projects. We cover the basics of wood structure, how to identify different wood species and their uses in projects, and use more of the machinery than in Woods 1. The class starts as a group, but as the year progresses, projects will be completed more and more independently, where the last project will be designed and built entirely by the student. 

Grades 11 and 12
1/2 Credit (can take for full year for 1 credit)
There is a fee of $20 (per semester) for this class
Prerequisite: C or higher Wood Technology 1 & 2  and Teacher approval

This class is for the students who are confident in their ability in the woodshop. It starts with a review project and once that project is done, all following projects are designed and made by the student independently. 

Grade 11 and 12
