Welding Careers Discussion
Part of Lesson Plan: Welding Career Research
Activity Overview / Details
The assignment on careers should be prefaced by a short (5-15 minute) lecture/discussion on the importance and variety of welding careers and uses. I use the example of welding in the transportation industry; then ask each student how they got to school that day (car, bus, bike, skateboard, etc). With the exception of those who walked, everyone depended upon a welded product to transport them that day. You can use any example(s) you'd like but use something as a hook so that students start to see the significance and variety of welding in their everyday lives.
