Measurable Student Learning Outcomes
1. (Application Level) Explain and demonstrate safe working habits and procedures within a lab setting related to the welding trades.(CSLO 2)
2. (Synthesis Level) Use the fundamental techniques developed to become certified in the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process to the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 structural code.
3. (Evaluation Level) Explain and demonstrate how to evaluate weld discontinuities including undercut, overlap, porosity, and excessive reinforcement. (CSLO 2,3)
4. (Application Level) Apply the use of weld procedure specifications to base metal and filler metal selections, as it relates to welded joint designs. (CSLO 2,3)
5. (Synthesis Level) Develop proper techniques and utilization of Oxyfuel, Plasma, and Carbon Arc Cutting for preparation of welder qualification bend testing.(CSLO 2,3)
6. (Synthesis Level) Strengthen and develop advanced welding techniques by performing AWS typical groove welds in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions, with emphasis on safety and proper use of equipment. (CSLO 2,3)
7. (Evaluation Level) Detect and assess the cause of weld defects: slag inclusions, porosity, overlap, lack of fusion, and undercut, by performing destructive testing. (CLSO 2,3)
8. (Application Level) Explain and demonstrate proper weld techniques and how to avoid weld defects in groove welds. (CSLO 2,3,4)
9. (Synthesis Level) Certify to AWS D1.1 Structural code through successful completion of welder qualification bend testing. (CSLO 2,3)
