FAB1010 Fabrication Tools & Materials

Introductory · 1 credit · TMT - Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation

Description
Students develop knowledge and skills in the use of basic hand tools and materials used in fabrication processes, and safely transform common metals into useful products.
Prerequisite
None
Parameters
Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic hand tools.
