technology provides students with the opportunity to acquire skills,
knowledge, and experiences required to pass a standard welding qualification
test and pursue a career in an expanding and rewarding technical field.
Classroom instruction and laboratory experiences allow students to gain
scientific knowledge regarding welding ferrous and nonferrous metals using
the processes of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW),
Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).
Specialized classes provide students with skills in oxy-fuel cutting, plasma
arc cutting, air carbon arc cutting, blueprint reading, weld symbols, and
welding inspection and testing. Electrical principles as well as basic
academic skills in communication, reading, writing, and mathematics are
integral components of the program. Particular emphasis is given to the use of decision-making and problem-solving techniques in applying science, mathematics, communication, and social studies concepts to solve technological problems. Classroom instruction emphasizes safety and proper care, use, and maintenance of tools and equipment. Hands-on work experiences and SkillsUSA-VICA leadership activities provide many opportunities to enhance classroom instruction and career development. This program complies with local, state, and federal safety and environmental regulations. Mr. Bobby Hugh Lovelady teachers this course. |
