STRUCTURAL WELDING DESIGN
Minimize

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course has been developed by the American Welding Society (AWS) for engineers with little formal education in welding, but with increasing on-the-job welding responsibilities. The emphasis is on basic concepts and applications. The course is designed to help engineers understand the cost savings and efficiency attainable through the proper design of weldments.

Participants will follow a course programme based on AWS text and workbook on Welding Structural Design. Welding inspectors will also find that this course greatly enhances their performance and helps them prepare for the AWS Certified Welding Inspector certification.
