Emphasis is placed on recognition and prevention and helps create a culture of safety. Upon successful completion the student will receive OSHA 10 certification.

Provides a foundation for gaining the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for college success. Students will learn to make a successful transition to higher education by setting up a pattern of success that will last the rest of their lives. Students will define goals and develop thinking skills, learning strategies and personal qualities essential to both academic and career success. Please note: Students who have served active military duty (excluding basic training and AIT) may be exempt from the Student Success course. Student must provide a copy of DD214 or other official military documentation to the registrar for verification.

The class covers basic safety principles related to Crane and Forklift activities. The application and inspection of cable, chain, and synthetic lifting devices will be covered along with verbal and non-verbal signals involved in safe operations. Students will gain experience in reading load charts, identifying working parts of a crane, operation of overhead bridge cranes and learn how to inspect cranes prior to use.

Exercise the ability of micrometer use, reading of fraction/ metric tape measure, applying the use of a fillet weld gauge, operating dial indicators, dial calipers, identifying weld symbols, analyzing welding symbols on weld drawings and demonstrating actual welding scenarios with a comprehensive view of welding manufacturing blueprints.

Interpretation of blueprints, creation of weld maps, applying weld symbols to corresponding parts, study of current manufacturing blueprints, draw fabricated parts in detail with weld symbols, formulate math problems into created drawing and research blueprints with unknowns.

A close look at welding manufacturing economics with specifics in welding productivity, do’s goal, method for computing operation factor, putting it all together and summary of key concepts. Reduce weld metal volume, reduce arc time per weldment, reduce rejects, rework and scrap, reduce work effort, reduce motion and delay time, method for computing operating factor and understanding welding productivity.

The student will gain the proper skill to operate all shop equipment and produce quality welds on aluminum and steel in order to pass specific weld position tests. Band saw operations, introduction to the basic operations of a forming Iron Worker, demonstrating proper techniques in various positions with GMAW/GTAW/SMAW/GMAW-P process, and fabrication of a classroom project.
