Course Outline
_____________________________________________________________________________
Reason for CTS - This CTS course offers all students an important learning opportunities in the field of mechanics. This modularized program offered here is an introductory level. It is geared for maximum student knowledge in planning, materials, tools, work habits, safety, and the field of mechanics as a whole.
Course Setup - Each student MUST complete a combination of 3 of the following modules in order to earn a total of 3 credits.
Fabrication Modules - Introductory Level -
FAB 1010 FABRICATION TOOLS & MATERIALS
Students 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. Prerequisite: None 1 credit
FAB 1040 OXYACETYLENE WELDING
Students develop basic skills in the safe handling and operation of oxyacetylene equipment. Prerequisite: FAB1010: Fabrication Tools & Materials 1 credit
FAB 1048 SEMI-AUTOMATED/AUTOMATED WELDING
Students develop basic knowledge and skills related to the use of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) processes in both personal use and commercial applications. They also develop introductory
knowledge of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) processes. Prerequisite: FAB1010: Fabrication Tools & Materials 1 credit
FAB 105 BASIC ELECTRIC WELDING
Students develop basic skills related to the safe use and operation of one or more common electric welding processes. Prerequisite: FAB1010: Fabrication Tools & Materials 1 credit
FAB 1910 FAB PROJECT A
Students develop project design and management skills to extend and enhance competencies and skills in other CTS courses through contexts that are personally relevant. Prerequisite: None 1 credit

The assessment for each module is unique and can be seen in the shop, however, this is a participation course and as such you need to be in class, participating in the work that needs to be completed for each module and working well with those around you and with you at the time.
Participation is generally worth 30% and the actual work done is worth 70%. The theory portion of every module must be complete before going onto the shop floor and working on your particular module.
Working in the shop means shop rules apply at all times (as discussed at the beginning of the first class). No phones at any time! No horsing around ever! Lates and absences will affect your ability to get the work done to the complete modules on time.
