Metalwork 11-12

COSTS OF MATERIALS AND FEES

The school board will provide sufficient materials at no cost for any student to meet the course requirements for all technology education courses. Students wishing to use more costly materials or make larger projects will be asked to pay the additional expense. Students may bring their projects home at their teacher’s discretion unless money is owed for the project.

METALWORK 11 (MTMET11)

Metal 11 provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore various options related to the metalworking field ranging from industrial applications such as welding to the highly creative side of metal sculpture. 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, and drill press, tube bending, forging, and CNC plasma cutting.

METALWORK 12 (MTMET12)

This course builds on Metalwork 11. Students will continue to explore metalworking options while increasing the complexity of the projects.

MACHINING AND WELDING 12 (MTMAW-12)

The course is intended to give the student an in-depth understanding of the concepts one would expect to find in an average machine 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 basic and complex lathe and milling machine procedures as well as CNC plasma.

ART METAL & JEWELLERY 11 AND 12 (MTMET11-ART) and (MTAMJ12)

This course is intended for students who want to explore their artistic side in the metal shop. Students will have the opportunity to create a variety of projects using several techniques that are commonly found in the jewelry industry. Examples of the type of work students can expect to be involved in include ring design and making, stone setting, lost wax casting, wire sculpture, sheet metal (brass, copper, silver) pendants, necklace-making, and metal finishing techniques.
