Course Description

Introduces students to tools and procedures in semi-precision and precision layout of fabricated metal parts in machining and welding operations. Covers use of layout tools, flat pattern development and layout of structural shapes for processing.

Course learning outcomes

1. Utilize basic blueprint reading skills to transfer information onto material.
2. Demonstrate the use of basic layout tools and practices to fabricate basic flat pattern parts and process structural shapes.
3. Apply mathematical concepts including measurement, geometry, and trigonometry to plan and fabricate metal manufacturing components.
4. Apply basic geometric principles to calculate angles, bisectors, arcs, radius and missing dimensions of fabricated metal components.
5. Identify and describe structural steel shapes, flat stock and specialty components used in industry.
6. Implement quality control procedures to check work for errors in layouts.
