MBSS METAL SHOP
Teacher: J. Kramer
Courses offered in this shop:
- Metalwork 10
- Metal Fabrication and Machining 11
- Metal Fabrication and Machining 12
- Advanced Sheet Metal
- Advanced Welding
- Advanced Welding B
METALWORK 10: (TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION 10) -- METALWK10
Prerequisite: None
This course starts from the basics and directs the students to the full use of all areas of the metal trades. The course includes advanced
hand tool work, the development of the skill of machining various metals and welding techniques. Machines used will include the
lathe, gas welder, mig welder, forge, drill press, grinder, buffer, band saw, and sheet metal equipment. Safety is stressed in all aspects
of shop work. The initial projects are determined by the instructor so safety, machine use and construction aspects are common to the
whole class. After the initial projects, and depending on the student’s capability and interest, they may choose their own projects with
their teacher’s approval. This course follows the Technology Education IRP.
METAL FABRICATION AND MACHINING 11 -- METALFAB11
Prerequisite: None
This course starts from the basics therefore a student who has not taken previous metal courses will have no problem doing well.
Included in this course are; advanced hand tool work, development of machining skills in various types of metals and various welding
techniques. Machines used will include the lathe, gas welder, mig welder, Plasma Cutter, forge, drill press, grinder, buffer, band saw,
and sheet metal equipment. Safety is stressed in all aspects of shop work. The first projects are determined by the instructor so safety,
machine use and construction aspects are common to the whole class. After the initial projects and depending on the student’s
capability and interest they may choose their own projects with their teacher’s approval. This course follows the Metal fabrication and
machining IRP.
METAL FABRICATION AND MACHINING 12 -- METALFAB12
Prerequisite: Metal 11
This is the senior metal work course. Students taking this course are expected to have a high interest in the metal trades and a
reasonably high level of metal skills. Students’ ability and interest will determine projects built following consultation with the
teacher. This course follows the Metal Fabrication and Machining IRP.
METAL FABRICATION AND MACHINING 12: ADVANCED SHEET METAL -- SHTMTL12A
Prerequisite: Any Metal 10 or Metal 11 course
This course will be for metal work students who plan to continue in the sheet metal trade. The course will focus on skills needed to
attain a career in sheet metal work. This course will have a theory component as well as much hands-on work and a work placement
experience to see what the trade is really like. This course is only for the very dedicated student who wants to continue in the sheet
metal trades.
METAL FABRICATION AND MACHINING 12: ADVANCED WELDING -- ADVWELD12
Prerequisite: Metal 11
This course will be for students planning to continue education in the welding area. This course will be a mostly non-project based
course and will focus on developing the skills and knowledge needed to be a welder. This course will have an extensive theory
component and a significant amount of time for practicing and developing hand-eye coordination. This class is only for the very
dedicated metal work students who want to continue in the welding trade.
METAL FABRICATION AND MACHINING 12: ADVANCED WELDING B -- ADVWELD12B
Prerequisite: Advanced Welding
This course is an extension of the advanced welding course. In this course there will be significant focus on TIG welding, welding of
exotic metals and welding out of position. This course is for dedicated students who are actively pursuing a career in the the welding
trades. As with the prerequisite course there is much focus on theory as well as practical.
This course will be for students planning to continue education in the welding area. This course will be a mostly non-project based
course.
