ROP Welding Fabrication and Application is the capstone course designed to train students for entry-level positions in welding/metal fabrication shops and preparing students for post-secondary agricultural mechanics, welding technology & industrial technology educational programs. This full year course emphasizes welding and fabrication skills in the advanced phases of Oxyacetylene, SMAW (Arc Welding), GMAW (MIG Welding) & TIG welding. This course applies the practical knowledge and skills learned during the previous three years of instruction. The course devotes a high percentage of classroom time in project planning and job seeking skills; Students will prepare working drawings, develop and compute bill of materials, prepare a resume, letter of application, student work samples and complete an individual portfolio.
