Note that endorsements are supplemental inspection credentials available to AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) and Senior Certified Welding Inspectors (SCWIs), but non-CWI/SCWIs can also participate in the seminar and examination to enhance their educational background. Participants are expected to provide their own codebooks. NOTE: There is a separate application and fee required to take the Certification Exam. Thursday, November 17 8:00 a.m. — 12:00 noon Registration Code: W17 D1.5: BRIDGE CODE CLINIC Room N235 This four-hour seminar will help you prepare for the AWS D1.5, Bridge Welding Code, exam by instructing in code navigation, structure, and design.The seminar will focus on areas of the code relevant to the welding inspector, specifically clauses and sections concerning materials and design, fabrication, inspection, and qualification. Note that endorsements are supplemental inspection credentials available to AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) and Senior Certified Welding Inspectors (SCWIs), but non-CWI/SCWIs can also participate in the seminar and examination to expand their professional credentials. Please note that there is a separate application and fee required to take the Certification Exam. NOTE: Clinic fee does not include a copy of AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2015, Bridge Welding Code. Code book can be purchased from the AWS Technical Standard sales team at (888) 935-3464. 8:00 a.m. — 12:00 noon Registration Code: W18 ETHICS SEMINAR FOR CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTORS — PART A Room N233 Working in the field as a Certified Welding Inspector is a very rewarding undertaking. However, it is wrought with perils relating not only to personal safety but also professionally, involving ethical decisions that could potentially injure or even destroy your professional reputation. The AWS QC-1 Code of Ethics will be reviewed and then a panel will discuss scenarios and answer questions regarding ethical situations relating to the Certified Welding Inspector. 1:00 p.m. — 5:00 p.m. Registration Code: W19 WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR — PART B Room N233 This seminar will supply insights, directions, and recommendations for the fledgling Certified Welding Inspector. If you have just accomplished your AWS QC-1 Certified Welding Inspector goal, this seminar is for you. After long hours of studying, a week-long refresher course, and a rigorous sixhour exam, you were then awaiting your outcome for eight long stress-filled days, you finally receive word. You passed! You spend a week or so basking in the warm comfort of success as the thought slowly creeps in on you. “Now that I have the CWI, what should I do with it and how do I do it?” This seminar will supply strategies, information, and recommendations on how to proceed with your new credential. What We Will Discuss: • Welder qualifications/certifications • Writing welding procedures • Pricing services • Visual inspection techniques • Insurance • Adding credentials to enhance your CWI • Advertising • And More… 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W21 BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WELDING SYMBOLS (A2.4 AND A3.0) Room: N259 Welding symbols are a great communication tool, but they are quite often misunderstood. While a designer typically knows what weld joint or weld they want, the welding symbol they place on a drawing is often either drawn incorrectly or is misinterpreted by the welder making the weld. Furthermore, many welding inspectors do not fully understand welding symbols and may be misinspecting welds. The goal of this seminar is to provide a good understanding of AWS welding symbols with explanations of their proper and improper use. This seminar is geared for all involved with welding symbols — from designers who place them on drawings, to the welders who know what the designer wants (regardless of what the symbol says), to the welding inspector who has to verify that the final weld meets the welding symbol requirements. It will also be great for new engineers who do not have experience with symbols, shop and field supervisors, and anyone else involved in manufacturing and welding. Examples of welding symbols that frequently trip up users and of real-life samples are provided. NOTE: Attendees will receive the following books: AWS A2.4:2012, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination and AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2010, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions. 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. Registration Code: W22 THE NEW VISUAL INSPECTION WORKSHOP Room: N258 An eight-hour course for CWI exam candidates to review the basic concepts and applications of visual inspection. After a discussion of the limitations and advantages of visual inspection, types of weld data that may be obtained by visual
