SHM 103 - Basic Sheet Metal Fabrication Credits: 4 2 Lecture Hours 4 Lab Hours
Description This is a course in fundamentals of sheet metal shop operation. Shop safety and shop operation practices will be covered. Correct operation of sheet metal hand tools, rotary machines, power shear and roll forming machines are included in lab work. Fundamentals of sheet metal layout will be practiced and applied to fabrication scenarios. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Identify basic Sheetmetal hand tools.
- Safely operate tools and equipment in fabrication of Sheetmetal products.
- Create lock, hook and single edge seams using rotary and roll forming machines.
- Apply tool and hand forming techniques to seaming of both rectangular and round Sheetmetal products.
- Explain 5 steps of shop operations including sequence and discussion of critical steps.
- Develop patterns for rectangular and round Sheetmetal elbows using hand tools and geometric construction techniques.
- Develop patterns for S offsets (Ogee) utilizing geometric construction and applied mathematics.
- Develop patterns for round miters and round tees using hand tools and parallel line development techniques.
