WLDG 222 - Welding Fabrication II

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): EWLD 110, WLDG 111, WLDG 117, and WLDG 220.
This course offers advanced welding techniques that include beam coping and splicing. Welding procedure specifications (WPS’s) and how they are created will be covered. Projects from WLDG 220 will be utilized for this course. Welder qualification tests will be given using the flux core arc (FCAW Dual Shield) method in both horizontal and vertical upward positions (2G and 3G unlimited thickness). (Spring Semester)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Demonstrate skills required to design, layout, and fabricate a project.
Select the proper welding process to produce the fabrication project.
Produce blueprints with proper weld symbols and cost estimation.
Safely operate all of the fabrication and welding equipment required to complete a project.
Demonstrate required skills in joint fitting that are necessary to reduce distortion during final assembly.
