Structure and theory of the two and four cycle engines. Troubleshooting, storage, maintenance, and repair of the small gas engine are included. Safety of the operator is stressed along with the use and study of operator's manuals for small power equipment.

Basic construction methods and building materials are discussed. Students develop the knowledge and skills to perform a wide range of building maintenance activities.

In this course, students apply safe operating procedures to their use of hand tools and power tools for construction tasks. They interpret construction drawings, perform basic construction calculations, and practice using test instruments to gather data on length, volume, area, depth, and dimensions. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to safely complete basic construction tasks using hand tools and power tools.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

This course provides instruction in advanced fabrication techniques in fixture and jig building, advanced pattern/buck design and construction, and an opportunity for a capstone group project. Students will be responsible for making a fixture and/or jig based off of their design and then create multiple parts to ensure repeatability of the part. This course will be extensively hands-on and application-based.

This course presents layout application, blueprint and weld symbol interpretation, welding, fabrication, equipment set ups, and operation skills to safely complete metal fabrications. Selection of fabrication equipment and its safe operation is emphasized. Tools and techniques used in metal fabrication are introduced and students practice their use.

Provides advanced welding applications in GTAW welding using stainless steel, aluminum and mild steel. Includes Gateway Technical College aluminum tensile certification and steel plate certification.
