Sheet Metal Mechanic
Course #: Block X08
Duration: 56 hours
Course Prerequisites: Introduction to Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry (Block X02); Hand and Power Tools (Block X04); Industrial Safety (Block X23);
What Students Learn: This block presents the trainee with a broad overview of the basic industrial skills and knowledge needed by an entry level machinist. Skilled workers, such as electricians, pipefitters, and mechanics, whose duties include the maintenance and repair of machine tools, can benefit through cross training, from taking this course. The course starts with shop math and measurements, and applies these concepts to shop drawings, blueprint reading, layout, and metal cutting. On-the-job tasks, such as working with metal cutting machinery - milling machines, drilling machines, lathes, grinders, and CNC machine tools - are described in detail. Safety procedures relating to job tasks using metal shop machinery are an essential part of this course.
