Course Description
Covers gas metal arc welding pulse (GMAW-P) techniques to produce code-quality welds. Introduces weld testing and the use of inspection hand tools.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of the course students should be able to:
- Function safely in a welding shop and a shipyard environment.
- Produce code-quality welds using the GMAW-P process in all positions.
- Assess weld quality through the application of visual examination principles and practices in accordance with industry-standard codes.
- Use hand inspection tools to determine code compliance.
Aspirational Goals
Each concept will be delivered via a combination of lectures and videos followed by practical demonstrations and hands-on application in the welding lab.
Course Activities and Design
Oral or written examinations, quizzes, written assignments, visual inspection, welding tests and task performance
