This course covers the study of metals and how to safely join them in the fabrica- tion of weldments to Generally Industries OSHA 10 requirements. Physical and mechanical properties of alloyed materials as they apply to welding, cutting, forming, shaping and heat treating will be covered. The students will do a capstone/developmental research project of manufacturing processes of products being built in manufacturing. There will also be a wide variety of equipment used during this course and several projects will be fabricated. Written and Fundamen- tal tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE curriculum, OSHA and related code books. Student Learning Outcomes: * Demonstrate proper use and inspection of personal protection equipment (PPE). * Demonstrate proper safe operation practices in the work area. * Will complete a General Industry OSHA 10 safety. * Develop an understanding of the terminology used in the study of metals. * Describe the types of tests that are performed on metals to determine their range of usefulness. * Determine the difference between ferrous and nonferrous metals and how the applications will vary. * Fabricate various projects using prints and basic hand tools. * Research manufacturing fabricated products and their material make up's y change without notice.

Suggested Technical Studies Semester II
This course is a continuation and reinforcement of the fundamental component of welding prints together that make up structures in industry. The student will break down welding prints to develop the skill needed to fabricate individual compo- nent parts that will makeup welded structures. There will be discussions on the different welding prints and symbols in the various organizations in the welding field and how the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and non-destructive examination symbols correlate with the prints for welding. Written and Fun- damental tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE curriculum and code books. Student Learning Outcomes: * Interprets welding symbol information. * Prepares an applicable bill of materials. * Performs conversions of standard inch and metric measurements. * Develop an understanding of the components of a Welding Procedure Specifi- cation (WPS). * Interpret non-destructive examination symbols. Prerequisite(s): WELD1529. (1 C: 1 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
