Summary:
|
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is discovered beneficial to students and the district feels there may be a need for the course, new courses are submitted. At this time, we are submitting a new Career Technical Education (CTE) course, Ag Metals Fabrication.
Ag Metals Fabrication is a hands-on course centered on students utilizing the skills acquired in the Agriculture Welding Pathway and applying them in conjunction with Fabrication concepts and techniques to design and fabricate a project on their own. This course's main objective is to teach students the skills necessary to fabricate metal projects. We will review the welding processes taught in Agricultural Mechanics and Design (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, OAW, OFC, AND PAC). We will then review fabrication topics, including safety, math for welders, plan reading, layout and measurement, machine practices, steel and metal, bolting and torque requirements, and product finishing. This course includes creating a project planning unit incorporating budgetary analysis, tool assessment, research plan and drafting, and written project proposals. This course is a capstone course of the Agriculture Mechanics Pathway 101 and is only intended for grade twelve students.
The textbook intended for this course is Welding - Principles and Applications by Larry Jeffus, published in 2023 by Cengage with the ISBN: 978-0-3573-7765-9. |
