WEL 213 - Fabrication, Layout, Estimating & Repair
Last Date of Approval: Spring 2021
2 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 15
Total Lab Hours: 30
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 0
Course Description:
This course is one of a two-semester sequence where students will cover and learn the aspects of measurement and geometry of circles, squares and triangles. Students will work on the skills needed to read and measure with tape measures and working with fractions. It also covers the practice of laying out basic projects and checking them for accuracy against a blueprint drawing. The students will do the calculations for the fabrication of projects. Labs provide hands-on activities that help explain the lecture material. This course will help students refine their critical thinking skills in the shop as they develop their hands-on welding techniques, which will benefit the student in future welding careers. This course will also help students gain manufacturing communication skills to be used throughout their life.
