Metal Work Technology

Grade 7

The grade 7 metalworking course is an introduction to metalworking. Discussion will take place on manufacturing of steel, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, metric measurement and the hand tools involved in sheet metal layout. Practical aspects of the course include: shop safety, basic sheet metal layout and folding techniques, resistance welding and cutting tools. An art metal jewelry project involves annealing, shaping, soldering and buffing. All of the above will be covered in the 10 classes assigned to the Grade 7 program.

Grade 8

The grade 8 metalworking course expands on the concepts learned in grade 7. Sheet metal types, safety, imperial measurements and blue print reading are areas of discussion. Sheet metal layout, tapers, sheet metal joinery, riviting (both standard and pop), use of the di-arco bender and resisst welding represent the practical aspect of the course. The class runs for about 8 cycles or 16 classes.

Metal 15G

This half credit, fun "hands on" course will introduce students to the wonderful world of metalworking. A wide range of metalworking experiences will allow students to work safely on a variety of exciting projects. Planning, measuring, tool use and layout will be stressed. Students will work with many types of metal on many different machines. Projects are designed so that students who have an interest can be proud of their accomplishments. All processes and machines will be demonstrated so no experience is required.

Students who choose this course may further their studies by taking 20G/30G/40S.

Note: This course may be used for credit towards the Grant Park Technology Diploma.

Metal Work Technology 20G

The metal working course at the senior high level expands on the information and skills learned inthe Middle School and the Grade 9 level. The major areas of study include the study of oxy-acetylene, MIG and ARC welding, machinging, foundry, threading and art metal concepts. The practical aspects include specific skill developments and acquistion in the above areas and simple project design. Assignments will be given to help the student develop skills in the major areas of study. There will also be a unit of study on possible careers in the metalworking industry.

Note: This course may be used for credit towards the Grant Park Technology Diploma.

Metal Work Technology 30G & 40S

These two courses will expand upon the understanding and skill development of the major areas of study covered in the 20G acourse. The expectation of the students is that they have a keen interest in the metalwork field, as the skill development will be one of the major components of the course. Improving their skill level in welding, foundmachining and art metal will be a major focus. Once the student has acquired the necessary skills, they will be responsible for incorporating those skills into a design project of their choice. The design project must include components from as many of the skill areas as possible. Students who complete this course may have and interst in a career in the metal work field.
