WLDG 222 - Welding Fabrication II

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): WLDG 111, WLDG 117, and WLDG 220.
This course builds on the previous fabrication course by stepping up to group projects and reinforcing advanced fabrication and welding techniques. Assigned group projects will require complete blueprints and the use of shop equipment including the box and pan brake, plasma table and other essential equipment. This course reinforces the importance of proper ways to keep assembly level and square along with trouble-shooting distortion until final welding is complete. (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.
