COURSE SYLLABUS 1. TITLE OF COURSE: WELDING AND CUTTING II PREFIX/NUMBER: ACT 211 CREDIT HOURS: 2 CR. (3 LBV) 2. PREREQUISITE: 3. RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: SUPPLIES: As required 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Covers MIG welding procedures of seam weld, stitch welds and destructive testing. Resistance spot welding, which includes two-sided spot weld, plasma cutting, safety, materials, and equipment and operating procedures, with emphasis on shop safety are also presented. 5. COURSE GOAL: 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students will: (A) Clean and prepare the metal to be welded, assure good metal fit-up, apply weld-through primer if necessary, and clamp as required. (B) Determine the joint type (butt weld with backing, lap, etc.) for weld being made according to manufacturer's/industry specifications. (C) Determine the type of weld (continuous, butt weld with backing, plug, etc.) for each specific welding operation according to manufacturer's/industry specifications. (D) Perform the following welds: continuous, stitch, tack, plug, butt weld with backing, and lap joints. (E) Perform destructive tests on each weld type. (F) Identify the causes of spits and sputters, burn through, lack of penetration, porosity, incomplete fusion, excessive spatter, distortion, and waviness of bead; make necessary adjustments. (G) Identify cause of contact tip burn-back and failure of wire to feed; make necessary adjustments. (H) Identify cutting process for different materials and locations in accordance with manufacturer's procedures; perform cutting operation. 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. Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog. 2. Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies. 3. Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion. 8. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Safety II. Fit-up III. Weld Types IV. Problem Identification V. Plasma Cutting 9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. 10. 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. 11. 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.
