Course-level student learning outcomesDiscipline-level learning outcomesAssessment methods

Demonstrate proficiency in welding techniques and produce quality welds with multiple processes of welding on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions by the American Welding Society (AWS) standard. 

1.Identify and interpret welding symbols in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS)

2. Utilize the processes of welding (GMAW), (FCAW), (SMAW), (GTAW) safely and effectively.

3. Select welding processes and materials based on project specifications and requirements.

4. Produce quality welds that meet industry standards and pass non-destructive and destructive testing methods to become a certifiable welder. (e.g. visual, etching, and hydraulic bend stress test.

1. Welding competency tests based on AWS standards.

2. Observation of student performance in welding exercises and projects.

3. Non-destructive and destructive testing methods of students welds.

 

Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:

The Instructor will:

  • demonstrate proficiency in welding techniques and produce quality welds.
  • Will demonstrate the ability to interpret technical drawings and blueprints and explain various ways of learning to interpret them.
  • Will demonstrate proficiency in the use of hand and power tools.
  • Will demonstrate the knowledge of welding equipment and various welding techniques.
  • Will demonstrate the welding procedures and safety protocols.
  • Will give out performance tests to measure the ability to produce quality welds.
  • Will give Written examinations to evaluate knowledge of welding equipment and procedures.
  • Will Observe students while performing welding tasks in the lab to asses their skills.
