Welding 102 is a mixture of skills basic to metal fabrication. Using several tools students perform an exercise in fabricating and welding steel into a utilitarian item. While working on their welding skills, students also get to work on their communication and comprehension skills. Being able to interact and gain understanding of what needs to happen is important. This group of students listened well and were a pleasure to teach! The students learned first hand the level of effort it requires to manufacture even basic items.
