(WTC course 606137) Students will learn the basics of design intent of a product/process through sketching and other technical communication skills. The course will develop the students skill in readying engineering drawings including detail, assembly, welding, piping and electrical. Sketching instruction will be enhanced by disassembling, measuring and drawing the parts that made up an assembly. Students are simultaneously introduced to the concepts, commands and techniques used to create two-dimensional drawings using AutoCAD software. Development and improvement of skills through efficient use of the software is emphasized. The AutoCAD topics include draw and modify commands, display and inquiry commands, layering, annotating and symbol creation methods. Paper/model space, view ports and layouts are used for plotting. Development and improvement of skills through efficient use of the software is emphasized.

(WTC course 410105) Students study methods and materials used in construction to include footings and foundations, walls, floors, and roofs. Students will examine various insulation types and moisture and air control layers. Additionally, students will be introduced to construction documents. The safe use of the appropriate tools for each trade is covered.

(WTC course 31410333) This course introduces the theory, materials, methods, and procedures used to construct floor, wall, roof systems, and staircases for wood-framed structures. Students will build a full-size structure in the framing lab using the proper tools, layout techniques, and appropriate materials.

(WTC course 31410329) In this course students will study various construction systems as they related to their drawings. Roof framing plans, stair construction from a section drawing, window schedules and catalogs, interior and exterior finishes, multifamily dwellings and code requirements for a residential structure will be referenced for related trade information.

(WTC course 442301) Introduction of gas welding and brazing techniques used to join metal pieces together.

(WTC course 442306) The study of welding techniques and applications of the GMAW and FCAW processes in the flat and horizontal positions on ferrous materials (steel).

(WTC course 31442308) This course is designed to develop the students skill in reading working drawings of weldments.

(WTC course 10620103) This course covers fundamental DC and AC electricity concepts as applied to industrial control systems. Electrical quantities, measurements and circuit characteristics/ configurations will be introduced. DC and Single-Phase AC will be addressed along with transformers. Proper wiring practices and an introduction to residential wiring systems will be included. Soldering and de-soldering of wires and component connections will also be addressed.

(WTC course 442106) Instruction in tungsten inert gas welding of stainless steel sheet in all positions as well as on tubing and pipe. ASME and AWS requirements are used as guidelines. Special focus is given to food grade welding procedures such as purge welding.

(WTC course 664110) In this course, learners are introduced to microprocessor controlled electromechanical systems. The learner examines how individual components work, and how they are integrated into simple systems. Upon completion of the course, learners will understand what technicians do in the workplace and how industry utilizes Mechatronics in advanced manufacturing.
