Several intermediate performance objectives and corresponding criterion measures are listed for each of eight terminal objectives for a basic welding course. The materials were developed for a 36-week (2 hours daily) course developed to teach the fundamentals of welding shop work, to become familiar with the operation of the welding shop equipment, to become familiar with those basic skills and trade technology required by the welder in doing welding work, and to diagnose and solve technical problems as expected of an apprentice welder. Titles of the eight terminal objectives sections are Orientation; Safety; Math Review; Hand Tools; Measurements; Flame Cutting and Gas Welding Terms; Oxyacetylene Equipment, Maintenance, and Adjustments; and Gas Welding, Flame Cutting, and Torch Brazing. (This manual and 54 others were developed for various secondary level vocational courses using the System Approach for Education (SAFE) guidelines.) (HD)
