Fabrication 20-30

Course Outline & Expectation

The Fabrication studies course is designed to expose students to fabrication and welding processes and provide the opportunity to build skills in working with metals. Course content has been developed by using first year welding apprenticeship modules with knowledge and skills linked directly to the Alberta education fabrication curriculum.

As a skill-based course, all students will be required to finish the 10 level assigned modules before moving on to the 20 level course, and 20 level modules must be completed before moving on to the 30 level course. This course is intended to support students who are interested in welding/fabrication as a possible career path, and also those students who are taking the course for personal interest.

Email contact is the preferred way for parents and students to contact the teacher if needed, a reply will be sent as soon as possible. Class progress emails (not individual) will be sent to parent guardians weekly/bi weekly updating on how far along students should be at that time and what assignments should be completed. PowerSchool will be updated weekly to the students current progress and parents/guardians can cross reference from there.

Fabrication 20

FAB2048: FLUX CORED ARC WELDING

Students develop an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) processes, and they gain experience using FCAW processes by performing flat, horizontal and vertical fillet welds and flat groove welds.

FAB2050: ARC WELDING 1

Students develop basic knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the operation and use of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) equipment and accessories to make a variety of welds in the flat position.

FAB2060: ARC WELDING 2

Students identify appropriate electrodes by visually assessing a weld and making the necessary adjustments to improve weld quality while developing horizontal position welding skills.

FAB2070: GAS METAL ARC WELDING 1

Students develop an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes, and they gain experience using GMAW processes by performing flat, horizontal and vertical fillet welds and flat groove welds.

FAB2910: FAB PROJECT B

Students develop project design and management skills to extend and enhance competencies and skills in other CTS courses through contexts that are personally relevant.
