Overview

This course teaches to learner how to view and interpretation lines on a blueprint, defines dimensions and tolerancing specifications, presents auxiliary information and geometric tolerancing, and finally, details basic welding symbols. 64 interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly.

Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage courses, provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory.

The Learner navigates through the course and its resources using the standard Mastery Control Bar. Course resources include a glossary of terms.

Performance Objectives

This course will measure mastery on each of the following performance objectives. Upon completion, workers will be able to...

View and line interpretation.
· Illustrates orthographic projection and demonstrates how the projection is interpreted through the presentation of the various views.
· Demonstrates how the various types of lines are used on blueprints and how each is an aid in reading the print.
Dimentions and tolerancing specifications.
· Introduces the conventional and baseline methods of blueprint dimensioning.
· Explains the concept of tolerance and demonstrates the application of both unilateral and bilateral tolerance specification.
Auxiliary information and geometric tolerancing.
· Show other aspects of blueprint reading through the interpretation of specific print components including notes, revisions, blueprint scales and find lists.
· Introduces and explains the need for applications of geometric tolerancing.
· Demonstrates how some of the more basic geometric symbols are applied and interpreted.
Welding symbols.
· Illustrates how various welding symbols, devised by the American Welding Society, are drawn on the blueprint and interpreted by the fabricator.
· Explains how the methods of weld dimensioning, joint preparation and weld finishing are imparted to shop personnel through the use of symbols.
