Fundamentals of the Plumbing Trade

WVEIS 2143

This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills related to the Fundamentals of Plumbing. Areas of study include the history of plumbing, current technology, basic math concepts, and interpreting information from plumbing drawings. Emphasis will be placed on career exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics. afety instruction is integrated into
all acti!ities. teachers tudents will utili"e problem#sol!ing techni$ues and participate in laboratory acti!ities to de!elop an understanding of course concepts. The

should pro!ide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to plumbing occupations. tudents are encouraged to become acti!e members of kills% A for additional co#curricular opportunities that enhance student achie!ement, de!elop student leadership, and support experiential learning.
