This module will guide you thru the use of welding coupons in the welding process.

The learner will gain an understanding of how a robot uses welding instructions to perform tasks. This learning activity includes video.

Explore welding electricity fundamentals including electron theory, parts of a circuit, welding power sources, and types of current.

The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.

In this interactive object, the learner reads an explanation of how various shielding gases are used in GMAW and FCAW. An exercise completes the activity.

In this interactive object, learners read an explanation of the electrodes used for welding with the GMAW and FCAW processes. In two matching exercises, students test their knowledge of classification and specification numbers.

Robotic welding is revolutionizing welder safety, efficiency, and technique. Knowing how to program a robotic welder is key in this ever-changing industry. In this module you’ll explore what Through-Arc Seam Tracking (TAST) is, discover how it works, and see it applied on the job.

In this learning activity you'll discover how to evaluate a problem statement using both the MEA and the IP Techniques.

Learners will follow general tips and tricks for improving their basic welding technique.

The learner will understand how to properly use a fillet gage to measure weld size.

In this interactive object, learners follow steps to assemble a wire feed welding torch or gun.

We’ll explore why everyone should reduce the waste they produce in the welding shop. We'll also demonstrate some ways to reduce waste as you work.

In this activity you'll identify several hazards in a welding environment.

In this module, we'll be introducing you to SIPOC, a powerful tool that can help you improve your business processes. It's a high-level process mapping tool that helps you identify the key components of a process and how they relate to each other. SIPOC diagrams are often used in Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, but they can be useful for any process improvement initiative. We’ll explain the key SIPOC components and demonstrate how to build one. Then, we’ll walk through a few scenarios and let you build your own.
