Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Exhibit safe practices in a welding environment based on ANSI Z.49.1 (Safety in welding and cutting and allied processes.)
Produce acceptable weldments and straight-line cuts on limited thickness metal material, using 2 welding processes and one cutting process to AWS or instructor standards.
Apply working knowledge of welding and cutting including equipment, process, electrode, and quality control on a written test with a score of 80 or above.
