TECF - Fabrication and Fitting

In the Fabrication and Fitting program, students will learn the base principles and practices of metal fabrication across a wide variety of industrial standards. Students will learn how to read blueprints and assemble metal products according to engineered drawings. They will also learn fabrication skills, according to specific standards and codes set in place by major industrial organizations, such as the American Welding Society and the American Petroleum Institute.

• Operate common fabrication equipment such as drill presses, brake presses, and overhead cranes in the safest manner possible.

• Sketch drawings of fabricated product based on the application, using fundamentals of design.

• Apply the mathematics of engineering to produce a blueprint or drawing.

• Operate common machinery found in a fabrication shop, including the pipe threader, CNC tables, and overhead cranes.

• Turn drawings into physical fabricated products, including steel pipe assemblies, structural components, and any other form of metal product that would require different skills to build.

• Operate basic welding equipment, thermal cutting equipment, and hand-tools to effectively fabricate a wide range of products.
