Open Disclosure Document Welding Technician Course 2017/2018 Mr. Shubin

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Students will learn trade skills that will prepare them to apply technical knowledge and skill to modern welding processes in a professional environment. Concepts included are: Safety, basic blueprint reading, Gas Metal Arc Welding “MIG”, Shielded Metal Arc Welding “Stick”, oxy-fuel and plasma cutting, fabrication skills and job training. Students will have the opportunity to use their new skills to create their own small metal projects. Course content follows the guidelines of the American Welding Society SENSE Level 1and the Utah State Office of Education curriculum.

COURSE OBJECTIVES: Utah has developed a core curriculum which outlines specific standards for student learning. Students will be expected to follow safety guidelines, identify and use welding processes, hand tools and equipment, interpret blueprints and use basic math and measuring skills. Students will perform fillet and groove welds using SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and GTAW processes in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions.

COURSE MATERIALS: Welding Principles and Applications; Written by, Larry Jeffus. Published by Delmar Cengage Learning. Print Reading for Welding and Fabrication; written by Kevin Corgan. Printed by Pearson Publishing. See attached list for student provided hand tools, protective equipment and classroom supplies.

CLASS PROCEDURES: The students will receive proper safety instruction before being allowed to operate any tools or machinery. Students are expected and required to abide by program rules and policies. We will perform classroom instruction along with hands on learning in group and individual practice. Students will be required to perform different types of welds and joint configurations. These welds will be inspected and graded using AWS D1.1 structural welding code, visual acceptance criteria as the primary rubric. Once students have completed the required welds of the course they will then have an opportunity to create their own small personal projects and continue practicing the processes and common joints they will encounter in industry within the time frame of the course. The program will provide the materials for program required welds but students will assume the responsibility for obtaining all materials required for personal projects. Students will be guided in their personal projects and will develop a written, sequential procedure for the project including dimensioned design drawings, a bill of material, tooling and equipment required to complete the project before beginning fabrication of their projects.

CLASS REQUIREMENTS: Students are required to follow ALL shop safety rules ALL the time. No exceptions. Attendance is mandatory to obtain daily participation points. Students who are tardy will not receive full participation points for that day. Students must come to class dressed appropriately for shop work (No Shorts, No Open-Toed Shoes, No Rings, Watches, or Bracelets or Necklaces). Jewelry is often times conductive and may get caught in rotating equipment. Torn and frayed clothing can be extremely flammable and does not protect skin from the sparks and ultraviolet radiation inherent to all arc welding processes and are therefore prohibited.

Student Expectations: Students must come to class prepared with paper, pencil, and working materials. Students must complete all current, required welding activities to be permitted to work on personal projects. Students are expected and required to participate in all classroom and laboratory assignments and activities.

GRADING SCALE: A: 100%-95% C: 76%-73% A-: 94%-90% C-: 72%-70% B+: 89%-87% D+: 69%-67%

B: 86%-83% D: 66%-63% B-: 82%-80% D-: 62%-60% C+: 79%-77% F: 59%-And Below

This class is based on standards set by the welding industry, The American Welding Society and Utah State Office of Education. If a student earns a grade lower than a C, their knowledge and skill level likely would not be conducive to securing employment in this industry.
