Catalog Description: This course covers the theory and hands-on training in both hand tools and power tools, layout and measuring devices, techniques on how to fabricate and repair metal objects, and the knowledge of how to work with metal. There will be tool-making projects, sheetmetal projects, as well as numerous metalworking activities. A mandatory material fee of $50 will be applied with this course. May not be repeated. Schedule Description: Do you enjoy working with your hands in creating or repairing metal projects? Do you wish you knew how to operate hand and power tools? If you have the desire, we will give you the experience. No previous experience necessary. This hands-on course will introduce you to a variety of hand and power tools used every day in the welding fabrication work-world. You will learn how to drill, tap, shear, cut, rivet, bend, measure, and layout metalwork. The metal fabricator today needs to have in-depth knowledge of tools and metalworking skills so when a project is being examined, you can answer the question “how is this going to be done?” The goal of this course is to break down a project into steps so one can determine what tools and methods can be used to complete a project. This course will enhance your success in the vocational field and improve your ability to create objects, fabricate useful items, and repair or maintain equipment in a safe manner. A mandatory material fee of $50 will be applied with this course.

Read critically and communicate effectively as a writer and speaker. 2. Understand connections among disciplines and apply interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. 3. Think critically and creatively 4. Consider the ethical implications inherent in knowledge, decision-making and action. 5. Possess a worldview informed by diverse social, multicultural and global perspectives. None of the Above Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) 1. Be able to know and specify the safety requirements and knowledge as required in the welding trade. 2. Demonstrate the ability and theory to effectively solve problems encountered while welding or cutting and perform in accordance with industry standards. 3. Be prepared to learn the step-by-step procedure to pass the AWS Welder Qualification/Certification Exam, essential for employment as a welder. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): At the end of the course students will be able to: CSLO 1: Identify basic hand tools, power tools, and shop machinery, and what their capabilities are. (PSLO 1, 2) CSLO 2: Ability to read simple drawings and visualize how to make a metal project step-by-step. (PSLO 1, 2, 3) CSLO 3: Demonstrate ability to use tools to construct a project in accordance to a drawing with emphasis on workmanship quality and dimensional accuracy. (PSLO 1, 2, 3) CSLO 4: To understand the theory and application of weld inspection tooling, how to apply them, and limitations of the equipment and/or process. (PSLO 1, 2). Assessment Instruments: Practical Theory Quizzes on Textbook Project Fabrication Theory Fabrication Midterm Chapters or Performance Final Exam Exercises Exam Handouts CSLO 1 X X X X X CSLO 2 X X X X CSLO 3 X X CSLO 4 X X X X X CSLO 1: Assessed by examination covering textbook chapter reading, handouts, and lectures in lab. Both quizzes and a midterm examination will be given to compile their understanding of the tools and techniques discussed. An example question may be “What is the difference between a single-cut mill file versus a double-cut bastard file?” After learning the theory and using the tool, this assessment will identify their Page 3 of 8 Course Outline of Record Los Medanos College 2700 East Leland Road Pittsburg CA 94565 (925) 439-2181 Course Title: Fabrication Technologies Subject Area/Course Number: WELD-007 knowledge of the tool. Finally, their knowledge of the equipment will also be assessed in grading of their fabrication projects. CSLO 2: Students are assessed of their knowledge gained from reading and studying drawings illustrating parts that they will be making for exercises and projects. Their ability to visualize the part will be conveyed while they are performing fabrication exercises and projects whose success depends solely on their ability to properly interpret the drawing. The midterm exam will also assess their skills by asking many questions regarding how a drawing is understood by the student. An example of exam questions regarding a part drawing could be the following: Refer to the FabTech Hammer drawing and answer the following questions: How many parts are required to fabricate the hammer? What type of material is used? What part component gets knurled? What size thread is to be used for the handle ends? How many holes are to be drilled? How deep is each hole to be drilled? What is the diameter of the hole in the grip? What is the significance of the note, “Break All Sharp Edges”? CSLO 3: Students will be given numerous metalworking exercises and projects using hand and power tools to perform a task. These activities allow the student to become proficient in using both hand and power tools to complete a task. The exercises will be inspected and graded for completion, quality, dimensional accuracy, and workmanship in accordance to industry standards. Students are observed and evaluated for following safe procedures to plan, set-up, and operate the tooling to complete the activity. For example: A sample exercise might be riveting two pieces of sheetmetal together. The student would have to measure & layout the hole locations precisely, clamp the material together properly, drill holes for the rivets, deburr the holes, select the correct size and length of rivet, and pop (set) the rivets. The work would be evaluated for accuracy of hole location, hole size, rivet setting quality, joint fit-up, and overall accuracy of part dimensions. CSLO 4: This outcome involves assessing both their theory as well as their “hands-on” skills. Students are assigned handouts for reading and are quizzed to assess their understanding. The reading covers the details of the tools, how to use them, and how to apply the techniques on weldments. A final exam incorporating questions from everything they learned will assess their theory knowledge. Students will be asked pertinent questions regarding the use of tools inspection processes and how they are utilized. For example, a question might be: “What type of metals can Magnetic-Particle testing be used on?” or “What type of defects can Penetrant testing be used to find?” These types of questions will reveal the students knowledge of the subject matter. Method of Evaluation/Grading: “A” level student work is characterized by: completing chapter or handout reading and scoring on tests with detailed answers that are at least 90% accurate. Lab fabrication exercises and projects completed shall be graded on dimensional accuracy within tolerances, exceptional appearance, finish and quality, and projecting great workmanship to industry standards.
