 * FAB 1 Course Outline **
 * Course introduction **


 * FAB 1010 Fabrication Tools and Materials - **** //No Prerequisite// **

The focus of this course is an introduction to the processes used to create safety systems. In addition students will develop knowledge and skills in the use of basic hand tools and materials used in fabrication processes, and safely transform common metals into useful products. Students will build a simple project, which uses the skills acquired in this course.

Students develop basic skills in the safe handling and operation of oxyacetylene equipment.
 * FAB 1040: Oxyacetylene Welding - //Prerequisite FAB 1010// **


 * FAB 1050: Basic Electric Welding **** - //Prerequisite FAB 1010// **
 * ===** Ø [[image:Welder_2.jpg align="right"]]Students develop basic skills related to safe use and operation of one or more common electric welding processes. The following lists some of the required test welds**===

Ever since the beginning of the Stone Age, people have used technology to build needed artifacts and structures. Welding is used in more industries than any other process. This course will:
 * Why **** take this course? **
 * Ø introduce you to common tools and materials
 * Ø help you understand the basic techniques used in fabrication processes
 * Ø experience the satisfaction of fabricating a useful product.




 * What **** prerequisites exist for this course? **


 * Ø there are no prerequisites identified for CTR 1010, however CTR 1010 is a prerequisite for all other Fabrication courses.


 * When **** should your work be done? **
 * Ø your teacher will give you a timeline for completing tasks and assignments within this course.


 * Ø you may also wish to use a time-management planning chart to preplan the work that needs to be done in this course. Plan how you will use your class time as well as extra time needed to complete the assignments in this course.

**What will you know and be able to do when you finish?**

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
 * Ø Create a health and safety plan with special emphasis on conditions and factors related to the specific pathway or series of courses.
 * Ø identify and describe the safe use of basic hand tools
 * Ø identify and compare the properties of common metals used in fabrication activities
 * Ø apply fabrication processes and skills to produce a useful product
 * Ø demonstrate basic competencies.
