Students will acquire knowledge and skills in metal cutting and joining techniques. Instruction is given in methods of measurement, layout, equipment setup and operation. Students will become familiar with the tools and equipment of the metal fabrication industry including: blue print reading, oxyacetylene and plasma cutting, brazing, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux core arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding of ferrous and non ferrous materials. Essential shop mathematics and English are taught throughout the course, which align with the NYS learning standards. Students are taught the skills needed to meet the guidelines of the American Welding Society to qualify as an entry level welder and may choose to enter the workforce or continue their education to further develop their knowledge and skills in the welding and fabrication industry.
