COURSE DESCRIPTION:
MFG-130 Welding Technology I is an introduction to metal joining techniques using welding,
brazing and soldering with an emphasis on safe work practices. This course provides students with a
basic understanding of electricity as applied to electric arc welders, metallurgy of welding, welding
processes and safe use of oxy/fuel welding and heating. Students will study theory and techniques in
a classroom environment. Demonstrations and applications will be performed in a laboratory setting.
2 lecture, 2 lab, 3 credits
Prerequisites: None
Co-requisites: None
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
As a result of meeting the requirements in
this course, students will be able to:
Student performance on these objectives will be
measured by:
1. Identify various welding processes and their
applications.
Graded worksheet assignments.
2. Recognize personal protection and
environmental concerns and demonstrate
safe work procedures.
Graded hands-on exercises.
3. Demonstrate the ability to create quality
welds using electric arc and gas welding
procedures in a laboratory setting.
Graded welding coupons.*
4. Identify and define the effects of welding on
various materials and how this affects design
considerations.
Exams and worksheets.
** Welding Coupons – Test Materials to demonstrate mastery of task.

Projects are due the class meeting after they are assigned. Projects submitted after that date will be
lowered one full letter grade per class meeting that they are late.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance will be taken twice during each class period. The first attendance for the lecture portion of the
class will be at the beginning of each class. The second attendance, for the laboratory portion of the class
will be taken at approximately ½ hour before the end of class
If a student is absent from the lecture portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence for the entire
class period. If a student is absent from the laboratory portion of the class, it will be recorded as an
absence from that portion of the class only.
A letter grade will be deducted from the class participation portion of your final grade for each absence
beyond three absences from either portion of a class period.
SPECIAL NOTES:
A final grade cannot be assigned for the course until all projects and
coursework has been completed.
Make-up examinations will be administered in accordance with the
instructor’s and division’s policy.
FACULTY ABSENCE PROCEDURE: Please note well.
A daily listing will appear in the glass case located in the main hall A bldg. which will indicate all classes
which are cancelled. Students can consult this case before going to class. If students find a class
cancelled which has not been listed, they should report this to the divisional dean’s office (A325) or to the
evening/Saturday office (L113).
