Gr. 11, 2 Semesters, Daily, 3 Hours, PM Section. A Career Education Consortium Center of Excellence, the AWS-certified Welding/Metal Fabrication I program at Herndon Career Center (West) is the first year of a two-year program that prepares students to meet the American Welding Society's entry-level employment requirements or pursue postsecondary training. Laboratory work includes basic flame cutting, oxy-fuel welding, and shielded metal arc welding of mild steels.

Classroom instruction covers welding theory, terminology, techniques, measuring and mathematics. Safety, work ethic, and employability skills are emphasized at all times. Expectations: Students must supply their own protective cotton clothing consisting of: long-sleeved work shirt, welding cap, leather work boots (above the ankle), jeans or coveralls in good condition. Expenses for these supplies may range from $100 to $160. (100% Polyester clothing is not acceptable.) Students who wear glasses are recommended to purchase prescription safety glasses. Students are responsible to replace any equipment initially provided by HCC, such as gloves, helmet, goggles, pliers, etc. Dual credit/articulation: Students can earn up to six hours of college credit during the full two-uear Welding/metal Fabrication program (3 credits of Welding I; 3 for Welding II) in the Business & Technology College Industrial Technologies program.

Class size: 20 maximum.

PREREQUISITES: Minimum 2.0 GPA; 90% attendance record; 10th grade reading, writing and mathematics skills and be able to read technical manuals, maps, diagrams and schematics; interpret welding symbols and codes; take accurate measurements and work fractions and decimal problems with ease.

A Career Education Consortium Center of Excellence, the AWS-certified Welding/Metal Fabrication I program at Herndon Career Center (West) is the second year of a two-year program that prepares students to meet the American Welding Society's entry-level employment requirements or pursue postsecondary training. Major units of study include advanced shielded metal arc welding (structural and pipe), plus gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding and plasma arc cutting on carbon, stainless steel and aluminum. Classroom instruction covers advanced welding theory, blueprint reading, layout, and fit-up. Safety, work ethic, employability skills, quality of work and pride in workmanship are emphasized at all times. Expectations: Students considering a career in welding should plan to purchase their own welding tools and supplies for use in the program. The cost of these items is approximately $150. Additional expectations are noted in Welding/Metal Fabrication I above. Dual credit/articulation: Students can earn up to six hours of college credit during the full two-year program (3 credits of Welding I; 3 for Welding II) in the Business & Technology College Industrial Technologies program. Students who meet specific requirements are eligible for apprenticeship hours in the Ironworkers Apprenticeship program (Ironworkers Union Local #10).

Class size: 20 maximum.

PREREQUISITE:Applicants must successfully complete Welding/Metal Fabrication I.
Location: West Campus.
