WBL Welding Fabrication II is the capstone course for the Welding Fabrication pathway at Duncan Polytechnical High School. In this course, students will apply the knowledge and skills relating to the transfer of matter and energy through electrical, fluid, thermal, and mechanical systems. They will also study more advanced fundamentals of mechanical and structural systems and facilities. Students will explore professional opportunities in the field of welding fabrication. More advanced welding processes, such as Flux-Cored Arc welding and Gas Tungstun Arc welding will be explored, and previously covered processes will be learned “out of position” including overhead and vertical welding positions. Students will be eligible for industry certifications in the various processes. Students will explore professional opportunities in the field of welding fabrication. Students will qualify for college credit through Dual Enrollment with the State Center Community College District. Additionally, this course may be a gateway program for those students interested in pursuing a post-secondary study in mechanical or structural engineering.
