This course offers students course credit for internship or cooperative learning experiences in the Metal Fabrication workplace. By working with employers on academic goals, students will develop practical workplace skills to complement their academic knowledge.

Students will present a final project to the supervising faculty member; the course grade will be assigned based upon that project and a written evaluation from the workplace supervisor. [AS NEEDED] Fifteen hours lecture per semester and nine hours of work experience per week.
