Steel Fabrication

Students learn the practices related to safe use and care of hand tools and measuring and layout instruments. They identify structural steel shapes, know the practices used in cutting metals using hand or manually operating cutting equipment,follow standard practices for drilling, reaming, and threading metal and uses of fasteners.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

In this course, students learn to safely use oxyacetylene equipment to weld joints using various electrodes.
 

Prerequisites:

• IPTI1030F
• SECU1221F

This course orients students to the safe practices for handling materials in the workplace.

The purpose of this course is to refresh skills in mathematics developed through secondary programs in areas deemed essential for the successful completion of the program. Although the topics covered in this course are common to any math program, every effort is made to illustrate their usage in the trades’ professions.

In this course, the students are presented with a balance of theoretical mathematics and applied mathematics. Instructional emphasis is focussed on the information, principles and formulas required to perform trade related mathematical calculations.

Prerequisites:

• MATH1208

Students learn the essential requirements for the use and maintenance of stationary power shearing equipment, iron worker type equipment, and press brake equipment. They also learn the types and uses of roll forming equipment, and how to operate manual, mechanical bending, and rolling equipment safely.

Prerequisites:

• IPTI1030F
• PRLP1058E
• SECU1221F

Students employ knowledge related to metallurgical principles in carrying out practices to control the expansion and contraction of metals.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

Students acquire safe handling skills in the use of portable power tools and small stationary power tools.

Prerequisites:

• IPTI1030F
• SECU1221F

The purpose of the practicum is to provide students with a direct, supervised practical experience. Such an experience enables students to apply the knowledge acquired during their training directly to their field of study. The practicum exposes the students to the trade environment and participants are expected to become members of the team in the industry site to which they are attached.

This course provides an introduction to the meaning of community service.  Students learn how community service can enhance a student’s educational experience, personal growth, employability, and civic responsibility. Students participate in one day of volunteering to enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and to help the New Brunswick Community College realize its vision of transforming lives and communities. 

In this course, students focus on applying communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, document use, and critical thinking to make occupation-specific communication effective and efficient while developing computer-related skills necessary to be successful in college and on the job.
 
 

In this course, students focus on acquiring job search skills to gain a work-term placement as well as employment while also, developing interpersonal communication skills needed to grow their career.
 

This course is designed to provide students with the skills to sketch and read blueprints to extract information. Students learn to interpret information from blueprints and use proper instruments and techniques to produce drawings.

Upon completion of this course, students will understand the theory required for the interpretation and use of welding symbols and abbreviations.

Prerequisites:

• PRLP1078

Upon completion of this course, students know the theory required to interpret and perform detailing practices on various structural components, as per detail drawings.

Prerequisites:

• PRLP1063

Prerequisites:

• MATH1209
• PRLP1058E

A safe and healthy workplace is the responsibility of the employer and the employee. This course introduces students to the importance of working safely and addresses how employers and employees can control the hazards and risks associated with the workplace. Students will also learn about the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders including WorkSafeNB, the employer and the employee in ensuring workplaces are safe.

This course provides students with an understanding of:

- their responsibilities when working in areas where fall hazards exist;

- the use of and inspection of the required equipment; and

- the critical controls necessary to reduce the risk of a fall.


Note:  This course may be delivered at the discretion of the college.

This course provides students with an understanding of the hazards related to working in a confined space environment. It looks at the proper safe work practice and procedures for confined spaces as well as rescue considerations.

Note:  The delivery timeline of this course is at the discretion of the campus.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (S.M.A.W) is one of the oldest and most common welding process.  Through a combination of classroom theory and hands-on shop time, students learn the basic principles and techniques associate with S.M.A.W.  At the end of this course, students will be able to select and safely use the proper equipment to strike and maintain an arc.
 

Prerequisites:

• IPTI1030F
• SECU1221F

This course builds upon the knowledge and skills covered in WDSO1125.  It covers Shielded Metal Arc Welding (S.M.A.W.) procedures for the deposit of all position fillet welds.

Prerequisites:

• WDSO1125D
• SECU1221F

This course is designed to introduce the student to the gas metal arc welding/flux-core arc welding (GMAW/ FCAW) processes.

Prerequisites:

• WDSO1126D
• SECU1221F

This course prepares students for depositing groove welds in the flat and horizontal position with Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Flux-Core Arc Welding (FCAW) processes and Metal-Core Arc Welding (MCAW) processes.

Prerequisites:

• WDSO1127D
