• Communicate with supervisors and co-workers, using proper welding symbols and terminology.
• Understand and use multiview (orthographic) method in order to illustrate an object correctly.
• Interpret and use fabrication prints to ensure that the finished product will meet specifications and tolerances.
• Visualize and sketch objects in proportion.
• Understand the following techniques to assist in visualizing objects: isometric drawings, auxiliary views, and sectional views.
Layout and Measure Projects
• Use appropriate measuring tools, marking tools, layout tools properly in layout work.
• Layout material so that it may be formed and/or welded to the specifications of the blueprint.
• Layout materials (+ or -) to the tolerances specified on the blueprint.
