Course Catalogue.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Produce an engineering specification to repair, and modify to make a welded structure
• Understand global comprehension of steel and welding metallurgy
• Understand and specify fundamental rules to avoid weld failures
• Learn about conventional and advanced inspection methods PAUT, DR, CR
• Understand the responsibilities of the owner’s engineer to the CSA W59-18 code requirements

Description
Welding is a complex process and is often misunderstood. Most universities do not teach welding engineering to their engineers; however, engineers are required to assume responsibility for welded structures and bridges per the requirements of CSA W59-18, CSA S-6 or CSA S-16.

This course will give you an opportunity to understand welding and related processes and their application. This course will also teach you how to avoid faulty welds in structures by correctly specifying welding and inspection requirements in your contract documents.

This is an interactive course. You are encouraged to bring your welding questions, problems, and projects to the class. Remember, there are no stupid questions!
