MATE 481/681 - Fundamentals of Welding
Introduction
Welcome to MATE 481/681. This is an engineering course in which we aim at introducing students to the fundamental aspects of welding engineering in the best possible way: in front of the actual equipment. The course has a significant lab demonstration component.
After completing this course students should master the concepts related to a vast variety of welding processes, the laws of nature on which they operate, related materials issues, and the practical implications of the new concepts learned, including the writing of a welding procedure.
The TAs and I have prepared this course with much love and effort. This course has been much appreciated by students over many years now. We hope that in addition to learning much, you’ll also have an enjoyable experience.
Thank you for choosing to take this course!
