Project Description
Narrative Summary
This program, designed specifically for women, introduces a student to welding in industrial manufacturing. There is a combination heavily weighted on the development of practical skills and the necessary theory, to ensure a successful career launch in the metal manufacturing field.
Program Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of this program will enable the student to:
Recommend and utilize proper personal protective equipment for the operation or process to be used
Identify equipment requirements and safely set up and use GMAW welding equipment
Demonstrate use of and skill in GMAW techniques with mild steel and various electrodes
Qualify the student under the CSA W47.1:19 standard as a flat-position welder with GMAW
Demonstrate use of and skill with FCAW* and GMAW equipment
Summarize the difference between FCAW and GMAW processes
Evaluate the variables of procedures and their effect on the quality of weld deposit
Understand and identify the hazards associated with the power source and power supply of welding equipment
Identify and select appropriate power source and equipment for various welding processes
