CTS: Fabrication Studies
The Fabrication Studies strand provides opportunities for students to investigate and develop important knowledge and skills central to the transformation of metals and
other related materials into useful products and structures. Students learn to recognize how these competencies apply in their personal lives, as well as in making informed choices relating to careers,
gainful employment and/or further study.
Fabrication Studies is just one of 22 strands* in Career and Technology Studies (CTS). For more information on the full group of CTS strands, visit the CTS Curriculum Structure.
*Each CTS "strand" is comprised of a group of 1-credit courses designed to support positive career opportunities for students.
