Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Assessment for this course is based upon destructive and visual testing of the intermediate weld joints produced by students. Students must identify the cause of these weld errors and correct them to industry specification. Assessments are a mix of quizzes and visual inspections of previous welds, as well as diagnosis of their own and their classmates welds. Projects created by students will be checked to specification and tolerance according to industry standard including pre-inspection before welding to check joint fit up quality. A rubric including tolerances will be used to assign a value to each assessment.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.

Course Content

Outcome #1: Demonstrate knowledge of intermediate and advanced welding joints

• Read and understand technical documents pertaining to weld joint design
• Determine the correct process for welding intermediate and advanced welding joints
• Understand how to differentiate contour, type and quality

Outcome #2: Identify and diagnose common weld errors and their corrections

• Make corrective action based on visual feedback from welds
• Determine weld error from destructive testing procedure and correct
• Cut and etch welds and make a determination of overall quality
• Understand weld heat affected zone and corrections
• Determine necessary corrections for warp prior to welding.

Outcome #3: Perform SMAW position 3 G and F welds to an apprentice level of welding

• Weld in SMAW 3G and 3F to AWS Code
• Participate in mock destructive testing

Outcome #4: Perform GMAW position 3 G and F welds to an apprentice level of welding

• Weld in GMAW 3G and 3F to AWS Code
• Participate in mock destructive testing

Outcome #5: Create and weld appropriate joints for common manufacturing processes

• Prepare and fit joints using tools typically used in the welding industry to tolerance
• Correctly prepare mock AWS testing plates
• Use basic measuring tools to compare joint fitment to tolerance/allowance

Outcome #6: Identify and precisely use commonly used manufacturing tooling

• Complete basic fabrications using common and basic industry tooling
• Use math to determine necessary angles, lengths and placement of cuts and bends
• Create right angle to tolerance using available manufacturing tooling.

Department Notes

Safety glasses are required at all times in the welding lab, and are provided for students. Students may also purchase their own safety glasses from a local supplier. Long pants and closed toed shoes are required in the welding lab at all times.  Appropriate clothing must be worn to work in the lab (no synthetic materials, etc.).  Safety requirements are covered prior to work in the lab.
