Fabrication and Welding

This course will build upon the set of skills developed by the successful completion of Welding - WLD121. More specifically, it will introduce students to common layout and fabrication techniques as well as the use of welding procedures designed to control distortion. Working from shop sketches, students will learn to read basic drawings and symbols in order to fabricate components to their specified size and shape. Weld quality will be verified by means of both guided bend tests and/or fillet fracture tests.
