Introduction to Machine/Welding Course Code: VTI050/VTI250 State Code: 13055 Schools: PHS Grades: 9-12th Length: Year-long Credit: 1 Course Fee: Fee required Prerequisite: None Graduation Requirement: Occupational or Elective Course Designation: Students will have hands-on training in arc-welding, oxy fuel welding, engine lathe operation, milling machine operation, hand grinding, surface grinding, tool care, equipment care, and machine and shop safety. An excel- lent course for all students considering a career in engi- neering, drafting, architecture, design, manufacturing, or construction. Students will learn to read technical manuals on machine safety, machine operation, and correct tool use and care. Students will use various measurement tools including rulers, micrometers, calipers, and other semi-precision and precision measuring tools. Students will also learn how to calculate machine revolutions per minute (rpm) and machine feed rates. A career portfolio will be developed, and projects completed that focus on the students' Culminating Project. This course prepares the student for further study in either Precision Machining or Advanced Welding.
