[    ]

1. Effective oral communication: capacity to deliver prepared, purposeful presentations designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners’ attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors.

[    ]

2. Effective written communication: development and expression of ideas in writing through work in many genres and styles, utilizing different writing technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

[    ]

3. Critical thinking: a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion.

[   ]  

4. Problem solving: capacity to design, evaluate, and implement a strategy to answer an open-ended question or achieve a desired goal.

[    ]

5. Intercultural knowledge and competence: a set of cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills and characteristics that support effective and appropriate interaction in a variety of cultural contexts.

[    ]

6. Information literacy: the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and share that information for the problem at hand.

[X]   

7. Foundations and skills for life-long learning: purposeful learning activity, undertaken on an ongoing basis with the aim of improving knowledge, skills, and competence.

[    ]

8. Quantitative Reasoning: ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of authentic contexts and everyday life situations; comprehends and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats.

CSLO (General) 1: Perform secondary connections of AC arc welding machine, current adjustment, and switch the secondary power on and off safely.

Student Learning Outcome (specific)

ISLO

PSLO

Assessment Strategies

• Connect the electrode holder cable to the arc- welding machine

7

1.a

Written and practical assessments will be used to assess student’s competence in:

• explaining and connecting electrode holder cable to the arc welding machine;
• explaining and connecting earth/ground cable to the worktable;
• turning the primary power switch on;
• turning the secondary power switch on; and
• adjusting the welding current intensity.

Practical assessments are scored using a rubric.

• Connect the earth/ground cable securely to the worktable.

• Turn primary power switch on.

• Turn secondary power switch on.

• Adjust the welding current intensity.

CSLO (General) 2:  Produce a uniform bead weld using a shielded electrode at a designated point and keep the right arc length.

Student Learning Outcome (specific)
