This course emphasizes the use of basic drafting skills for lay out of plate steel sheet metal, and patterns and the selection of welding processes and joint design. Students will calculate and estimate weldment and weld metal, and will learn how to allow for distortion and the use of jigs, fixtures and positioners.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Calculate material costs.
- Use fixtures and jigs for design purposes.
