Metal 11-12

Metalwork 11 provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore the variety of options related to the metalworking field. The experience gained will last a lifetime and could open new doors to an ever-changing job market. Students will learn authentic skills and create projects using a variety of materials in the area of welding & fabrications, foundry casting, sheet-metal forming, machining with lathes, milling machines, drill press, tube bending, and forging.

This course builds on Metalwork 11. Students will continue to explore metalworking options while increasing the complexity of the projects. The projects range from welding and fabricating to machining.

The course is intended to give the student an in-depth understanding of the concepts one would expect to find in an average machine and/or fabricating shop. Course content will revolve around the construction of one or two major projects of individual selection that will incorporate blueprint reading, project design, safety welding/fabricating and both basic and complex lathe and milling machine procedures.
