Assignments: 1. Common materials used in the building trades. Students will research and prepare, and then present to the class, a poster that identifies one type of wood. Include the following information on the poster: name of the wood (common and scientific), usage, and other technical information (density, strength, physical properties, etc.). The poster must include a minimum of two graphics, both of which must be hand drawn and coloured and in total take up about 50% of the poster’s area in size. http://www.wood-database.com/ Marks: 2 hand drawn colour graphic 50% Research 25% Overall Poster Presentation 25% Lates (-20% per class) Incomplete posters not accepted. 2. Careers in the Trades. As a class project we will be making a colouring book. The goal is to produce a colouring book for Elementary School students. Each person will contribute one drawing representing a trade and a one page write up that lists: The name of the trade. The duties associated with that trade. The apprenticeship training required. Employment and advancement requirements. The drawing must be hand drawn. The write-up page may be hand PRINTED or may be typed on a computer.

Welder Duties Welders join metals in beams, girders, vessels, piping and other metal components Welders make metal parts used in construction and manufacturing plants, and weld parts, tools, machines and equipment. Welding usually involves applying heat to metal pieces to melt and fuse them together. Welders use different welding processes and fillers depending upon the type of metal, its size and shape, and requirements for finished product strength. For a typical welding project, they: develop patterns for projects or follow directions given in layouts, blueprints and work orders clean, check for defects and shape component parts, sometimes using a cutting torch weld parts together Apprenticeship Training The term of apprenticeship for a welder is 3 years (three 12-month periods) including a minimum of 1500 hours of on-the-job training and 8 weeks of technical training each during each year. Employment and Advancement Welders are employed in a variety of industries including vessel or structural steel assembly, pipeline construction, commercial construction, industrial construction, steel fabrication and heavy equipment repair. Employment prospects for welders change with seasonal and economic climates. Journeyperson wage rates vary, but generally range from $25 to $40 an hour plus benefits. Experienced welders may advance to positions such as welding inspector, welding foreman or supervisor, or plant supervisor. Some open their own repair shops, or work as portable rig welders who contract out their services.
