This course is a basic introduction of blueprint reading, symbols used for welding and welding principles. In the area of blueprint, the class will learn how to identify different structural shapes through different views. In the area of symbols used in welding, the class learn how to dissect a welding symbol and how they are used with blueprints. Lastly the class will be introduced to hands on welding and how to look at a blueprint, identify the structural shape, interpret the welding symbol and then finally make the needed weld.

The following items must appear on each homework assignment turned in or a reduction of credit will be given for that assignment.
Your name, name of chapter, questions due (Example: 1-29) and the week number of the assignment.
Homework CANNOT be turned in using spiral wound paper...plain paper only.
- Clean-Up
The instructor will announce clean-up time at the end of each class session, and then this procedure should be followed:
➢Shut down welding equipment you are using.
➢Return any tools used to the proper area.
➢Return unused steel to the proper storage area.
➢Place welding pieces in the scrap container (cool if necessary).
➢Return welding rods over 2” in length to the proper box or tray in storage rack.
➢Sweep off table top in welding booth, and place welding stool on table.
➢Sweep floor of welding booth and put stubs and slag in metal garbage can
The student is free to go after completing these procedures.
- Safety
The student is responsible to follow all safety rules and shop procedures and to perform all tasks in a safe and conscientious manner. This includes wearing the required safety items (safety glasses, high top boots or shoes, etc.) during the lab time.
NOTE: The instructor will verbally warn the student when required safety items are not being worn in the shop, or when safety procedures are not being followed. Repeated safety violations may require the student to be withdrawn from the course by the instructor. Three strikes and you're out. Third warning could result in dismissal from the class.
NOTE: Instructor has the right to change areas that will better enhance the learning of the student. This will only happen with proper notification to the student.
- Personal Communication Devices
All personal communication devices (including laptops) must be turned off or kept on silent (NOT VIBRATE) during all classes and lab times. If personal communication devices are used or go off during class or lab time, your final grade could be reduced by a full letter grade. This includes texting.
7.My Job
I take my job as an instructor very serious. It is my job to not only instruct you in the field of
Welding but to also prepare you to become excellent employees. This is school, but treat this
class like a job. Show up on time, give your best effort, try to improve everyday. This will be a
fun class, I promise.
