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.
