VWT 45 FOOD ANDWINE PAIRING 2.0 Units This course is an introduction to the art and science of food and wine pairing. Through lectures and formal tastings, students are instructed in the use of a sensory analysis model to identify components in food and wine that complement or contrast when initiating pairings. Students will participate in comprehensive palate exercises in which regional food preparations are paired with a broad spectrum of wines. Students under the age of 21 must have a declared major of either viticulture and/ or enology to participate in any tasting activities as stated in the California State Assembly Bill 1989. VWT 47 WINE REGIONSWINES OF CALI 3.0 Units Introduction to wines produced in California by region, including history, viticultural practices and winemaking styles. There is a strong emphasis on the sensory evaluation of representative California wines. There is a materials fee associated with this class. Students under the age of 21 must have a declared major of viticulture and/ or enology to participate in any tasting activities as stated in the California State Assembly Bill 1989. WELDING TECHNOLOGY WLDT 10 MACHINING - METALTRADES 4.0 Units This course is intended to show how machine tools are used in the metal trades and manufacturing, as well as how machine tools operate and when to use one particular machine instead of another. The advantage and disadvantage of various machining techniques as well as their application in the fabrication process are explored. Students will learn the use of drawings, hand tools, precision measuring tools, drilling machines, grinders, lathes, milling machines, and other specialized tools used to shape and finish metal and nonmetal parts. Additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques as well as related processes are explored. WLDT 61AL BEG.
