Program outcomes
- Demonstrate the set-up and safe operation of welding and fabricating processes and equipment including a working knowledge of Health and Safety legislation, lock-out procedures, hazard control, personal protective equipment, and WHMIS related information.
- Demonstrate the set-up, application, and troubleshooting of modern industrial welding and related processes including Shielded metal Arc (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc (GMAW), Flux Cored Arc (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW), Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC) and Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC).
- Describe the theory of operation, applications, materials selection and trouble-shooting of the standard welding and fabrication process and equipment.
- Select, plan, and demonstrate metal fabrication operations including measuring, layout, cutting, forming and fitting for weldment manufacturing using industrial metal fabrication machinery including plate rolls, shears, iron-worker, and press brakes.
- Prepare welding documentation and develop a familiarity with the common welding codes and standards in the welding industry (i.e. ASME and CSA).
- Explain the application of standard inspection and testing methods used to assess the quality of welds and welded fabrications.
- Identify common metals, alloys, and classification systems and select the appropriate welding and fabricating techniques and consumables for adapting to the characteristics of the different types.
- Perform mathematical calculations related to the applications of welding and fabrication technology, layout, and measurement.
- Interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, bills of material and create piece-part and assembly drawings using CAD software.
- Develop computer application skills to solve technical problems in the following areas: operating system and file management, technical document creation, spreadsheets, online searching and communication.
- Communicate information effectively to individuals and groups by applying communication principles and by preparing both formal and informal reports.
