COURSE SYLLABUS 1. TITLE OF COURSE: METAL WELDING AND CUTTING I PREFIX/NUMBER: ACT 111 CREDIT HOURS: 3 CR. (1L/3 LBV) 2. PREREQUISITE: None 3. RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: SUPPLIES: 1 spiral notebook, 3 no.2 pencils, 1 clipboard, work shoes, and basic hand tools 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Covers sheet metal oxygen-acetylene welding and MIG welding techniques including safety, materials, equipment, and setups. Personal and vehicle protective measures prior to welding procedures is presented. 5. COURSE GOAL: Use proper welding techniques using oxyacetylene, MIG, and plasma arc cutting equipment. 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: After completion of this course, the student should be able to: (A) Identify weldable and non-weldable materials used in collision repair. (B) Weld and cut high-strength steel and other metals using manufacturer's specifications/procedures. (C) Determine the correct welder type, electrode, wire type, diameter, and gas to be used in a specific welding situation. (D) Set up welding equipment. (E) Adjust the welder to "tune" for proper electrode stickout, voltage, polarity, flow rate, and wire-feed speed required for the material being welded. (F) Store, handle, and install high-pressure gas cylinders. (G) Determine work clamp (ground) location and attach. (H) Use the proper angle of the gun to the joint and direction of gun travel for the type of weld being made in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. (I) Protect adjacent panels, glass, vehicle interior, etc., from welding and cutting operations. (J) Protect computers and other electronic control modules during welding procedures according to manufacturer's specifications. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: Each student enrolled in the Automotive Collision program will be graded as follows: Lab skills attitude 1. Lab work consists of: (A) speed (B) accuracy (C) neatness and order (D) care of tools (E) attitude: student work habits, promptness, good attendance, project decision making. The ability to work without constant instruction. Responsibility to any given project or assignment. Laboratory projects will be evaluated on a weekly basis. Lab Skills 60% Written Assignments 20% Written Tests and Quizzes 20% Each hour of absence constitutes a deduction of one point from the total final grade. Tardiness will be counted in 15-minute increments. The student will be dropped when he/she misses over 12 hours. Grading ScaleRaw Score Range Letter Grade 100 to 93 A 92 to 85 B 84 to 77 C 76 to 69 D 68 to 0 F Special Remarks: 1. Regular attendance and class participation are of great importance for success in this Automotive Collision course. College attendance policy states that you may be dropped for absence of more than 20% of the scheduled class (12 hours). 2. No make up time will be allowed without prior approval from the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule any make up time needed. Students are expected to spend at least 1 to 2 hours of study time outside of class for each hour you are scheduled in class. 3. The PCC catalog for the year in which you started this program lists all academic policies, procedures, and requirements related to your enrollment and education. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and follow that catalog as it relates to you. 8. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Safety II. Oxyacetylene Welding III. Fusion IV. MIG Welding V. Plasma Torch 9. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. 10. ADA NOTICE: Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 549-3446 for further information.
