Available courses
This course integrates core mathematical concepts such as measurement, geometry, trigonometry, and algebraic reasoning within the context of mechanical systems and machine operations. Students apply quantitative problem-solving to real-world manufacturing processes, meeting or exceeding state mathematics standards through applied learning.
This course, Tools for Success (NCCER), develops students’ understanding of professional behaviors, workplace relationships, communication, ethics, and personal responsibility in career settings. Through inquiry-based modules and performance tasks, learners investigate real-world scenarios, analyze interpersonal dynamics, reflect on decision outcomes, and apply civic and ethical principles in occupational contexts. When cross-listed as a social studies course, it supports the integration of civic life, economic decision-making, social systems, and individual responsibility within career preparation, while equipping students with life-ready skills and workplace citizenship.
This dual credit course introduces students to the fundamentals of welding through the NCCER Welding Level 1 curriculum, focusing on Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and related cutting processes. Students begin with Welding Safety and progress through Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC), Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC), and Carbon Arc Gouging (CAG) before advancing into SMAW theory and practice. Instruction follows NCCER’s nationally recognized, competency-based modules, each aligned to college credit through Iḷisaġvik College.
This course is scheduled as a two-period block to provide extended lab time for skill development, equipment setup, and safe practice. While NCCER Welding I includes multiple college-credit modules, students typically complete several per semester based on performance and progression. Emphasis is placed on safety, electrode selection, arc control, joint preparation, and weld quality inspection in a professional shop environment.
