WELD1520

This course covers the study of metals and how to safely join them in the fabrication 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 Fundamental tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE curriculum, OSHA and related code books.Student Learning Outcomes
