This course is 40 hours for apprenticeship programs.
Develops skills in Oxy-fuel cutting (OAC), and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Learners use the OAC process to cut steel and the SMAW process in 1F, 1G, 2F, 2G, 3F and 3G position on steel. Required welds include fillet and groove welds. Weld quality is assessed per AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Code.
Develops skill in gas metal arc welding. Learners use pulsed spray transfer to make fillet and groove welds in the horizontal and vertical positions on stainless steel and aluminum.
Develops skill in gas metal arc welding. Learners use short circuit transfer and pulsed spray transfer to make fillet and groove welds in the horizontal and vertical positions on sheet metal.
Prepares learners to perform basic nursing skills under the supervision of a nurse for job entry as a nursing assistant or a home health aide (HHA) in health care agencies. Face-to-face and hybrid classroom, campus lab and clinical instruction are offered at various nursing homes and hospitals throughout the district. Students need to submit an application and complete background check.
This advanced clinical course requires the student to integrate concepts from all previous courses in the management of groups of clients facing complex health alterations. Students will have the opportunity to further develop critical thinking skills using the nursing process in making clinical decisions. Continuity of care through interdisciplinary collaboration is emphasized.
This course focuses on the development of advanced clinical skills across the lifespan. Content includes advanced intravenous skills, blood product administration, chest tube systems, basic electrocardiogram interpretation and nasogastric/feeding tube insertion.
Make fillet and groove welds in all positions using .045" flux cored wire. Assessments for this course are 100% lab based with a focus on weld quality and technique. Weld quality is assessed per D1.1 - Structural Steel Code.
This course provides for advanced competency in interpreting international weld symbols and ISO prints. Prints utilizing first angle projection are studied and fabricated.
This clinical experience applies nursing concepts and therapeutic interventions to patients across the lifespan. It also provides an introduction to concepts of teaching and learning. Extending care to include the family is emphasized.
Applies metal fabrication concepts in individual and small group projects. Learners design, plan, layout and fabricate functional projects. Layout tools and methods, along with fixtures, are employed to create precise, repeatable parts to industry standards.
This course focuses on topics related to health promotion for individuals and families throughout the lifespan. We will cover nursing care of the developing family, which includes reproductive issues, pregnancy, labor and delivery, post-partum, the newborn, and the child. Recognizing the spectrum of healthy families we will discern patterns associated with adaptive and maladaptive behaviors applying mental health principles. An emphasis is placed on teaching and supporting healthy lifestyles choices for individuals of all ages. Nutrition, exercise, stress management, empowerment, and risk reduction practices are highlighted. Study of the family will cover dynamics, functions, discipline styles, and stages of development.
This course elaborates upon the basic concepts of health and illness as presented in Nursing Fundamentals. It applies theories of nursing in the care of patients through the lifespan, utilizing problem solving and critical thinking. This course will provide an opportunity to study conditions affecting different body systems and apply evidence-based nursing interventions. It will also introduce concepts of leadership and management.
Complex Health Alterations II prepares the learner to provide and evaluate care for patients across the lifespan with alterations in the immune, neuro-sensory, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, renal/urinary, reproductive systems and shock, burns and trauma. The learner will also focus on management of care for patients with high-risk perinatal conditions and high-risk newborns.
Make fillet and groove welds using 1/16 diameter flux cored wire. In addition, students perform fillet welds in the flat and horizontal positions with the submerged arc welding process. Assessments for this course are 100 % lab based with a focus on weld quality and technique. Weld quality is assessed per D1.1 - Structural Steel Code.
Introduces process fundamentals, electrode selection and machine setup are discussed. Learners use Low hydrogen, "stick" electrodes to complete fillet and groove welds in all positions. Weld quality is assessed per AWS D1.1 - Structural Steel Code.
This intermediate level clinical course develops the RN role when working with clients with complex health care needs. A focus of the course is developing skills needed for managing multiple clients across the lifespan and priorities. Using the nursing process, students will gain experience in adapting nursing practice to meet the needs of clients with diverse needs and backgrounds.
Builds on skills developed in SMAW 1. Learners cellulose and low hydrogen electrogen electrodes in fillet and groove welds in all positions. Weld quality is assessed per AWS D1.1 - Structural Steel Code.
Learn to setup GTAW equipment, and process fundamentals and variables. You’ll make fillets and grooves in the horizontal position on Carbon Steel. This course is the foundation for the other GTAW courses.
Interpret and fabricate several different prints in this course. Practice interpreting and fabricating prints in a timely manner is emphasized. As the course progresses, student's design, plan, and fabricate a project of their own using all of the knowledge and skills they have acquired in Fab Tech 1 & 2.
Expands on skills developed in Layout & Welding Fabrication 1. Learners design, plan, layout, and fabricate functional capstone projects. Integration of computer aided drafting, laser cutting, metal forming and robotic welding is emphasized. Learners conduct peer evaluation of cost, design and mechanical function.
Use the GTAW process to create fillet welds in the 2F and 5F positions on pipe to plate. You will also explore groove welds in the 5G and 6G positions on pipe.
