This hands-on course is for students interested in employment as welders, fabricators, sheet metal workers, and machine operators in light industry. Students will develop skills in the construction of prototypes and mechanical components used in light industry. The course covers the skills for print reading, layout, fitting, welding and fabrication. Through class projects, students will apply all techniques learned in the design and fabrication process. Students taking a second year, will prepare for beginning positions as layout mechanics in heavy industry (building of bridges, buildings and large industrial machines). Students will be introduced to ANSI-standard print reading, layout, fitting, and welding techniques. Welding technologies used include metal-inert gas (MIG), tungsten-inert gas (TIG), and stick-electro arc welding. Instruction includes workplace skills training and preparation for internship opportunities and employment in the welding field.
