A core text or supplement for courses in Welding. Laid out in an easy-to-follow format, this text/activities manual introduces students to the concepts and practices of welding and guides them step-by-step through beginning to advanced exercises — many based on the American Welding Society's Structural Welding Code. Highlighted key terms and unit-end review questions (many of which incorporate mathematics, writing, and problem solving skills) ensure that students develop a well-rounded perspective on welding.
