This course will provide the skill required to interpret the current American Welding Society weld symbol and supplemental information placed on a blueprint or engineering drawing used for fabrication by the individual welders. The course will also contain the basic components of blueprint reading including lines, views, part relationships, information blocks, data sheets, material documents, notes and guidelines, welder's math, weld parts, weld quality, and inspection. Minimum benchmarks will be enforced.
