Welding and Metals ManufacturingMetals manufacturing and welding involve the process of shaping and joining metal materials to create products, structures, or components. Metals manufacturing typically includes cutting, forming, and machining raw metal into specific shapes or sizes, while welding is a technique used to fuse metal pieces together using heat or pressure. These processes are essential in industries like construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where metalwork plays a critical role in building durable and precise components. Welding, in particular, requires skill and precision to ensure strong, reliable joints in metal structures.

Classes Offered
INTRO TO METALS TI110 1.0 (YEAR)
Prerequisite: None
Grade Level(s): 9, 10, 11, 12
Intro to Metals is designed for the beginning student in metalworking. This is a hands-on class comprised of lecture, demonstrations, and assigned projects and quizzes directed toward welding and metalworking procedures. Hands-on opportunities include iron and flame soldering, Oxy Fuel processes, welding with state-of-the-art welders using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) processes. Students will also learn to cut material using the plasma arc, oxyfuel, and HPG gas torches. Forge and foundry work will also be included in the hands-on opportunities students have during the year. Students will progress at a rate equal to their capabilities. Grades will reflect craftsmanship, quality, safety, and workethics.

METAL FABRICATION TI210 1.0 (YEAR)
Prerequisite: Intro to Metals (with an 80% or greater grade)
Grade Level(s): 10, 11, 12
Metal Fabrication is designed for the student that desires to broaden their knowledge of the metalworking industry. Students will learn the techniques of designing and building assignedandapprovedpersonalprojects. Basicoperationofthe milling machine, metal lathe, machining processes, and welding certification requirements will also be covered. Students will also strengthen skills and understanding of the welding and metalworking processes previously gained in Intro to Metals class. Other topics includewritingjobapplications,resumes,and completion of the OSHA industrial safety test. Representatives from vocational and technical schools will speak on future educationalopportunities for students.
