Industrial Electricity

(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.

Manual Torch Metal Cutting

(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.

Intro to Mechatronics

(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.

Engineering Materials

(WTC course 606119) Materials selection is a critical component of the design process. If the properties of the material selected do not meet the specifications, then product failure will result. You will be introduced to the properties, classification, and applications of the materials used in the design and manufacutre of a product. You will access the characteristics of materials that impact their selection through labe activities, independent study and research.

Intro to Auto Technology

(WTC course 404302) This course includes three areas: 1. Automotive shop and environmental safety practices are introduced and safety sheets are signed. 2. Parts room procedures to introduce the functions of the parts sector in relation to the automotive technology field including parts systems, parts research and online parts catalogs. 3. Automotive related instruction which includes gas metal arc welding and oxy fuel cutting and heating.

Basic Maintenance

(WTC course 404313) Covers the diagnosis, maintenance and repair of the heating and cooling systems, tires and wheel balancing, vehicle safety, service and shop management and parts distribution. Automotive shop safety practices are also stressed.

Site Layout and Concrete

(WTC course 410303) Students will be introduced to measuring and layout procedures and site development using surveying equipment such as digital theodolites, lasers, and total station. Concrete as a building material, foundation walls and footings, flatwork, and below grade foundation preparation will be studied as well.

Construction Industry Basics

(WTC course 10410103) This course provides an overview of the professions found within the construction industry. Students will research skills necessary for success within their chosen field and correlate to their personal strengths. Students will also learn to interpret architectural construction documents and be introduced to the assemblies that make up a building. An exploration of building science principles will provide a foundation for future coursework.

Introduction to Welding

(WTC course 442105) A one-credit course to prepare welding students to be successful in the lab and online. Topics covered will include Blackboard (or current LMS), email, and basic metal shop safety. The students will also get introduced to the most frequently used equipment in the shop such as welders, grinders, saws, and shears.

Machining for Maintenance

(WTC course 420105) This course is a basic introduction to machining and machine tool concepts for industrial maintenance personnel. Fundamental lathe, mill and drill processes will be covered along with layout skills and tool usage in a hands-on lab environment.
