FAB3090 Sheet Fabrication 4

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

Description
Students develop specialized skills in cylindrical and conical pattern development and seam construction of ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metals.
Prerequisite
FAB2100: Sheet Fabrication 3
Parameters
Access to a fabrication facility, complete with sheet metal shearing, forming, fastening and layout tools, and to instruction from an individual with specialized training in sheet metal practices.

Outcomes The student will:
