Students will learn to manipulate metal using a variety of welding techniques including MIG, TIG, arc welding, and plasma cutting.  Topics of study include: metallurgy, flame cutting, blueprint reading, set up and operation of drill press machine, and cutting and shearing techniques.  Students will practice these methods on aluminum, stainless steel, and other materials.  Students can create unique designs by using the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Plasma Machine or developing metal sculpture projects.
