(WTC course 442301) Introduction of gas welding and brazing techniques used to join metal pieces together.
(WTC course 481100) Students in this course will be introduced to the principles of energy management and the energy industry. Students will learn about the history of energy production and costs, the dynamics of worldwide energy consumption and growth, the principle methods by which energy is used, and its environmental and financial impacts and consequences. Objectives and components of an effective energy management program are explored. In addition, students will be introduced to the use of building diagnostic tools commonly employed in industry.
(WTC course 31442303) The study of welding techniques and applications for the flat and horizontal positions, to include electrode selection, fundamental joints, welding positions, and basic electricity for arc welding.
(WTC course 442109) This course is a basic introduction to welding concepts for industrial maintenance personnel in a hands-on lab environment. MIG welding will be the main emphasis of the course along with an introduction to Stick and TIG processes. Plasma cutting and Torch skills will also be included.
(WTC course 420105) This course is a basic introduction to machining and machine tool concepts for industrial maintenance personnel. Fundamental lathe, mill and drill processes will be covered along with layout skills and tool usage in a hands-on lab environment.
(WTC course 442105) A one-credit course to prepare welding students to be successful in the lab and online. Topics covered will include Blackboard (or current LMS), email, and basic metal shop safety. The students will also get introduced to the most frequently used equipment in the shop such as welders, grinders, saws, and shears.
(WTC course 10410103) This course provides an overview of the professions found within the construction industry. Students will research skills necessary for success within their chosen field and correlate to their personal strengths. Students will also learn to interpret architectural construction documents and be introduced to the assemblies that make up a building. An exploration of building science principles will provide a foundation for future coursework.
(WTC course 410303) Students will be introduced to measuring and layout procedures and site development using surveying equipment such as digital theodolites, lasers, and total station. Concrete as a building material, foundation walls and footings, flatwork, and below grade foundation preparation will be studied as well.
(WTC course 404313) Covers the diagnosis, maintenance and repair of the heating and cooling systems, tires and wheel balancing, vehicle safety, service and shop management and parts distribution. Automotive shop safety practices are also stressed.
(WTC course 404302) This course includes three areas: 1. Automotive shop and environmental safety practices are introduced and safety sheets are signed. 2. Parts room procedures to introduce the functions of the parts sector in relation to the automotive technology field including parts systems, parts research and online parts catalogs. 3. Automotive related instruction which includes gas metal arc welding and oxy fuel cutting and heating.
