DRF 122 - Blueprint Reading for Welders and Fabricators

Credits: 2

Applies principles specifically designed for welders and fabricators working with welding drawings. Interprets basic blueprint information, orthographic projection, assembly drawings, and geometric tolerancing. Places emphasis on welding symbols and welding drawings. Credit may be earned in DRF 122 or WELD 122 but not both. (30-0)
