Welding

Students will learn basics skills and knowledge related to welding. The students will learn skills and knowledge related to a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics. Welding employs pinpointed, localized heat input that can be used in repair or construction of new elements. Topics covered include safe practices as well as skills taught that are needed to produce many different types of welds in a safe environment. This course gives students an introduction to the skill and knowledge base typically required for apprentice welders. Source: TCIDS TN CTE Website

Machining Technology

Employees in Manufacturing Production Process Development are responsible for product design and design of the manufacturing process. They work with customers to ensure the manufacturing process produces a product that meets or exceeds customer expectations. They also monitor the manufacturing process and the materials used to manufacture the product. Persons employed in the precision machining field operate machine tools, which shape and form materials to precise dimensions. Literally everything manufactured starts in precision machining since every manufacturing process uses machining techniques to create its production lines Source: TCIDS
