STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
 Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:

1.   Identify selected welding and manufacturing processes which routinely
      interface with robotics and automated systems.

2.   Demonstrate proficiency in operational set-ups and procedures of
      selected welding and joining power supplies.

3.   Identify from sample coupons, various metals and composite materials
      commonly used in high-tech joining processes.

4.   Recognize defects and discontinuities on weldments, using non
      destructive inspection processes.
