WELDING I

8672 (1 credit) Grade Level: 10, 11, and 12 Prerequisite: None

Students will receive instruction providing career training in the areas of metal fabrication and emerging welding technologies. This course will provide students with a basic knowledge of electricity and how it applies to welding. In addition, students will be introduced to shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, oxy-fuel welding, plasma arc cutting, and oxy-fuel cutting processes. Students will begin the American Welding Society SENSE program to earn a welding industry certification. This course is available with an additional option (STEM Academy) which can be utilized. Preferences will be given to students who take advantage of dual enrollment and/or STEM Academy options.  STEM ACADEMY Grade Level: 10, 11 and 12 Prerequisite: Complete a Pulaski County Governor’s STEM Academy application, possess a minimum GPA of 2.5, passing scores on the highest level attained on the English and Mathematics SOL test.

This course is STEM-based, meaning all curriculums reinforce the benchmarks of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.

WELDING II

8673 (2 credits, 2 blocks) Grade Level: 11 and 12 Prerequisite: Welding I EOC Test: Industry credential test or licensure test available upon completion of this course.

Students learn to use gases and electric arc processes to fabricate and weld metal parts according to diagrams. Students will also learn to read blueprints and interpret weld symbols, as well as demonstrate many construction safety standards as they relate to the welding industry. Each student will be required to perform horizontal, vertical, and overhead welds using each major welding process. Students will complete the American Welding Society SENSE program to earn a welding industry certification. This course is available with two additional options (dual enrollment & STEM Academy) which can both be utilized. Preferences will be given to students who take advantage of dual enrollment and/or STEM academy options.  CTE DUAL ENROLLMENT 8673 (2 credit, 2 blocks) (NRCC college credit in WEL 100 Intro to Welding, 3 credits) Grade Level: 11 and 12 Prerequisite: Welding I, NRCC Placement Examination, and NRCC Application



STEM ACADEMY Grade Level: 11 and 12 Prerequisite: Welding I STEM Academy, NRCC Placement Examination, and NRCC Application
