TOOLS FOR STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR SUCCESS Student Tools Student Text Welding Fundamentals provides students with a strong understanding of the underlying theory and skills required for successful welding, with a strong emphasis on safety. It provides all of the information needed to help students develop proficiency with the most common welding processes (including SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and oxyfuel welding), thermal cutting, basic print reading and welding symbols, and joint design and fit up. The text also introduces students to weld inspection and testing. Welding Fundamentals is designed so that sections of the book can be taught in any order, making the book easily adaptable to any course. The book’s contents cover all of the key indicators for AWS SENSE Level-1 certification, so the book can be used in all courses leading to AWS SENSE Level-1 certification. Welding Fundamentals is heavily illustrated with clear, well-lighted photos and engaging full- color illustrations to hold students’ interest and help them learn. The extensive end-of-chapter materials throughout the book challenge students to think critically and apply their newly learned knowledge to other academic areas.
