Grades 10-12; Offered as a year-long course
Prerequisites: Students are required to provide their own safety glasses, welding gloves, welding helmet, and coveralls. Course fee is $25.
Students will learn the basic theory and practice of fusing ferrous metals. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is the process emphasized. Students gain experience with a selection of welded joint designs and a variety of electrodes. Standard industrial safety procedures are stressed.
Grades11-12 ; Offered as a year-long course
Prerequisites; Welding I; Students are required to provide their own safety glasses, welding gloves, welding helmet, and coveralls. Course fee is $25.
Students will learn the basic theory and practice of fusing ferrous metals. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and oxyacetylene welding are the processes emphasized. Students gain experience with a selection of welded joint designs. Standard industrial safety procedures are stressed.
Advanced Welding
Grade 12; Offered as a year-long course
Students continue learning the theory and practice of ferrous and non-ferrous metal fusion. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) is one of the processes emphasized. Students will also use oxygen-acetylene and plasma-arc cutting systems. Projects in both steel and aluminum will develop design, layout, and fabrication skills. Standard industrial safety procedures are stressed. Course fee is $25. Prerequisites: Welding 1, Welding II and instructor approval.
