Course Description:

Advanced Welding is a more in-depth study into the field of Welding.  Welding applications will include Advanced Stick Electrode Arc Welding, Advanced Oxy-Acetylene welding, MIG Welding, Basic Cutting Techniques and Metal Fabrication.  A review of basic welding in flat position, safety (both general and specifically for the welding shop), basic bronze welding techniques, and basic metallurgy will be discussed.  Proper equipment set up, care, and maintenance will be demonstrated.  In addition the course will cover advanced metallurgy, and out of position welding.  The student should have good basic skills prior to taking the course.  Students will be required to complete a number of weld samples as assigned by the instructor.  After completion of required welds, the student may be able to work on a project. 

 

Objectives:

  1. Students will develop through observation and demonstration of safety rules and regulations a basis for positive safety attitudes and responsible behavior. AE 12.2.1
  2. Students will interpret future implications on employment opportunities in mechanical systems careers as a result of emerging technologies. AE 12.2.6
  3. Identify, explain, and correctly use arc, wire, and oxy-acetylene welding machines and a cutting torch
  4. Identify, explain, and correctly use arc, wire, and oxy-acetylene welding machines for different welds
  5. Demonstrate the correct use of each machine through assigned exercises

 

 

State Standards Supported:

Reading/Writing: 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.6, 12.2.2, 12.2.3, 12.2.5, 12.3.1, 12.3.2

Science: 12.1.3, 12.7.1, 12.7.5
