5.	COURSE GOAL:	To continue welding with E-7018 and E-6010 leading to the AWS qualification test for structural welds in the vertical, horizontal, and overhead positions.

6.	COURSE OBJECTIVES:
	By the end of the course, students will:
	(A)	The student will exhibit manipulative skills using the manual arc welding process.
	(B)	Given practice material, the student will weld in the various positions.
	(C)	The student will identify the uses of various welding equipment used in the manual metallic arc welding process.
	(D)	The student will identify the use and safe operation of equipment used in the oxyacetylene cutting and manual metallic arc welding processes.

7.	EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
	(A)	The student will be routinely evaluated on an individual basis by the instructor at the end of each completed project. Each project will be given a percentile grade ranging from 0 to 100.
	(B)	Several procedures are used in the evaluation process. They include, but are not limited, to the following: joint fit-up and design, proper weld tie-ins, overlapping and weld sequencing, proper machine and regulator settings, proper electrode, filler rod and torch angles, proper arc length and rate of travel, proper interpretation of blueprints and working drawings.
	(C)	The student will be tested over classroom lectures, handouts, and textbook materials.
		Grading Scale Raw Score Range	Letter Grade
