Aluminum Welding & Fabrication
Provided by All American Marine, this link illustrates marine application training in aluminum welding and fabrication. It introduces the types of hand and stationary power and pneumatic tools and their applications; blueprint reading; layout, cutting and fitting techniques; and, intermediate to advanced Gas Metal Aluminum Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Aluminum Welding (GTAW) techniques.
 
Aluminum GTAW Fundamentals
View a course description of Gas Tungsten Aluminum Welding (GTAW) fundamentals here. The course introduces power source setup and proper use of controls; weld-specific preparation of tungsten and control parameters; and welding performed on metals in all positions.
 
GTAW Proficiency Checklists
The Gas Tungsten Aluminum Welding (GTAW) proficiency checklist can be viewed by clicking here.
 
Safety in Boat Building

Developing A CurriculUM (DACUM) Research Chart for Marine Electrician
This document illustrates ten marine electrician duties, and the tasks involved. It also lists general knowledge and skills, behaviors, and future trends and concerns of value to anyone planning a career in this field.
 
Marine Manufacturing Skill Panel Verification Survey
Marine electricians are asked to review the documents at this link, and complete the three part survey. The survey asks industry professionals to identify and write in (as needed) any additional tasks not addressed in the Research Chart for Marine Electrician (see above). The survey will be used as a basis for assessing training needs, planning training programs, assessing employee competency for certification and promotion, and developing new competency-based materials to meet training needs.

Part II of the survey is available here.

 
Checklists for Stationary or Hand Tool Safety and Proficiency
View and print a checklist that can be used to evaluate student proficiency in handling and operating various hand tools (grinders, circular and reciprocating saws, and drills, etc.) used in the Marine trades. This link defines a similar checklist for safe and effective use of stationary tools (miter saw, drill press, band saw, etc.).
