The text content is designed to prepare students for certification based on the widely recognized Schools Excelling through National Skills Education (SENSE) Level I standards published by the American Welding Society.
In addition to maintaining and actively working in a fully equipped welding shop, the author has over five decades of welding experience in a wide variety of industries and applications, including structural steel, petrochemical, agricultural, food processing, mineral exploration, and transportation (automotive, trucking, aviation, rail, and shipping). He draws on this vast and ongoing experience, as well as many years of teaching and writing, to provide a wealth of practical tips and real-world examples to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
To prepare students for success in the dynamic field of modern welding, the text covers a broad range of current welding technologies and practices, as well as providing a solid foundation in key topics such as welding metallurgy, metal fabrication, weld testing and inspection, joint design, and job costing.
A robust study guide and lab manual help students gain hands-on welding practice, while PowerPoint® presentations containing all chapter art and additional graphics and photographs help illustrate important concepts.
