Metal Fabrication
Program Description:
Utilizing theoretical, as well as a practical hands-on approach coupled with the latest CAD software, students will be engaged in the study of personal, shop, and manufacturing safety principles, material engineering and selection, all current production welding and cutting practices, and the use of state of the art manufacturing tools and equipment used in the metal fabrication industry. It is recommended and encouraged to work in groups for nearly all assignments. Exams, such as midterms, finals and weekly tests to assess individual talents will be completed by each student.
