ATTR 1000 - Trade Related Preparation

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: ATAM 1150 and ATDD 1900

Preparation for a career in the trades is assessed through an overview of industrial processes. A review of math, blueprint reading, and measuring tools relative to shop application are major components of this course. Students receive diagnostic evaluation through testing in these major areas.

Contact Hours: 3
