COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Safely use tools and operate equipment used in the welding trade for

    advanced fabrication techniques.

2.  Demonstrate a high level of skill in the use of TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas),

    MIG (Metal Inert Gas), SMAW (Shielded Manual Arc Welding),

    cutting and gouging.

3.  Fabricate advanced projects to the standard of industry.

4.  Interpret blueprints for increasingly complex projects.

5.  Demonstrate the skills required to pass an unlimited American Welding

    Society Structural Certification Test (SMAW, MIG, TIG, Innershield

    using unlimited metal thicknesses and flat, horizontal, vertical, and

    overhead positions).
