MECH 2700 Robotic Welding

Course Description:
This course was developed by Roane State Community College and The Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT). In this course students will be introduced to robotic welding systems and learn how to perform basic procedures. Students will learn how to create welding routines, program weld paths, and be able to store and retrieve programs and parameters. Students will learn to program a welding robot through a teach pendant and simulation software, edit programs, set weld schedules and learn basic operator controls and indicators on the teach pendant and operator panel. This course also provides fundamental safety precautions while programming and operating the robotic equipment.

Course Contents:
Course materials include a 5-page syllabus, 14 PowerPoint lectures, and 15 lesson plans. The syllabus includes a course description, course learning outcomes, a course topics roadmap, and other course related information. 

The lessons plans include objectives; a list of materials, equipment, and supplies needed; instructional resources; a list of activities and demonstrations; teaching suggestions, and assessment information.
