ETI 2416 Metal Working Processes (Welding & Fabrication)

A study of the principles, concepts and applications of various metal fabrication methods encountered in a metalworking fabrication environment. The subject matter on hand tools, mechanical cutting and welding processes and specialized fabrication equipment covers operational applications used in the industry. Welding processes in Gas, Brazing, GMAW (Mig), GTAW (Tig), SMAW (ARC) are taught to prepare the students as a Level 1 welder/fabricator. A plasmaCam CNC plasma cutter is use to teach students automated fabrication processes. This course utilizes hands on training to teach fabrication applications to give students practical skills in metalworking for entry level job opportunities needed in the fabrication industry. Metal fabricating processes also include sheet metal layout and aircraft solid riveting. Students are evaluated based on their performance of the course objectives and the completion of a compiled working portfolio of various projects completed in this course.
