Introduction
My Love for Muscle Cars Restoration yea, that's what got me here and loving it. Hi, most of you already know me from Weld 101-A and Weld 101-B as the class Support Assistance and now, I will be your welding instructor for your final part of a 3 section Welding Course. I'm an old "Dude", 74 years as a matter of fact but, very young at heart and mind. Those of you who took the Welding 101-A and101-B class can attest to that, you others, well, come and join us. I promise you, if you do diligent work with my 50/50 Lecture/Welding Lab/Shop, I'll do my best to teach you how to finish off this course and become a proficient Shielded Metal Arc Welder.
In this class, we will be taking this Welding Course based on the Canvas Platform. This means, Personal Lectures supported by, Media forms, Activities such as homework, quizzes, and test will also be included online. But wait, that's not a bad thing, "WE" need this lecture time because, knowledge about welding is part of why you are taking the class and why I'm excited to teach you, remember? You will continue to use high tech applications such as "Lincoln Electric Virtual Welding Machine" more about that later. The best, most advanced machines that Lincoln Electric has to offer is what "WE" use. Well lit designed welding booths with plenty of room with ventilation. So, the bottom line is you want be guessing about what and how to, most of that comes from your lectures with no trick question, although relaxed, you will be taught how to become a real world welder using the best to offer.
Okay now, lets talk about the Lab/Shop. " Safety First Always," students are required to wear Personal Protection Equipment when we enter the welding lab and safety glasses in all area excpt for the classroom. Remember those Virtual Welders?, we use them to help aid you with the learning process also. Your training on the Virtual Machine include charts, graphs, and scores that are "not course graded", Yep not graded. Bottomline, its a tool for you, I think of it as a Accelerated Welding Learning Machine. Also as an option, we have a program call Open Lab on Saturdays. Guess who supervise it, "Yep", you're right.
And, we weld, using the best machines Lincoln Electric has to offer. Again, personalize lecture?, we need this, think of it like this, 50% of what is needed to be a good or even great welder. The welding booth are spacious(sounds like a room, right) they, are large and well ventilated. I love Welding and hopefully, so will you.
