Welding I
This course will provide student with an introduction to the welding field.
Students will spend most of their time in a class studying terminology,
safety, set-up and shut-down of all welding equipment and related tools
of the trade. Time will also be spent in the welding shop so students
will get hands experience with oxy-acetylene cutting, welding and brazing
along with arc welding.
Welding II This course will build on skills learned in Welding I. A higher
percentage of time will be spent in the shop reviewing the basic skills
along with learning Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Gas Metal Arc
Welding (GMAW). These welding skills will be developed by progressing
from Flat, Horizontal, Vertical and Overhead positions. In addition
to this, pipe welding in the horizontal rolled, horizontal fixed and
vertical fixed position are taught. Progress will be based on the schools
task lists.
Welding III The course in welding will provide the student the opportunity
to apply and develop skills learned in Welding I and II by laying out
and fabricating school projects and doing job cards for the community.
Students who have completed the program will get a certificate or a
letter of hours. Progress is based on the school's task lists.
The course in welding prepares the student for entry into the metals construction
industry. The practical experiences in the shop are designed to broadly
qualify the student for employment in the building construction and
repair industry, the boat building and/or repair industry and the power/energy
generating industry. Students are trained in the use of the oxy-acetylene
process which includes metal cutting, welding, brazing and soldering.
Various types of arc welding such as Shielded Metal arc welding, Gas
Tungsten arc welding and Gas Metal arc welding, are taught in depth.
