Focus will be on fundamentals safety practices,ýincluding OSHA regulations and American WeldingýSociety (AWS) safety guidelines. Shop safety willýbe stressed along wih personal protectiveýequipment(PPE). An overview of the basic weldingýprocesses will be
Students will learn safety standards in welding, cutting, and allied processes as described in ANSI Z49.1:2012. 1 Lecture, 0 Lab
This course will focus on the science and technology of basic welding and cutting processes such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), oxy-fuel acetylene cutting (OFC) and plasma cutting. Emphasis will be placed on machine nomenclature, industry safety standards, and welding industry career trends. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
The fundamentals of blueprint interpretation and welding symbols will be covered. An emphasis is placed on basic blueprint interpretation, welding symbols, and sketching. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
This course is the first half of Basic Arc Welding/Cutting. Students will learn the basic principles of shielded metal arc welding and oxy-fuel cutting. Welding instruction will be done through lecture, demonstration, and hands on learning. Students will be evaluated by the acceptance criteria set forth by the American Welding Society. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
This course is a continuation of Basic Arc Welding/Cutting I. Students will continue developing shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) skills. Students will make fillet welds and then progress to single “V” groove welds in the 1G (flat) position. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
The theory and practice of gas tungsten arcýwelding (Tig) is covered. Welding machineýoperation, setup, and adjustment is emphasized.ýProper tig welding technique is taught, alongýwith proper electrode and gas selection. Lectureýtwo hours, lab two hours p
This course will cover shielded metal arc welding in the vertical position with various electrodes. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
131 131 Gas Metal Arc Welding I
This course is a continuation of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) I. Emphasis will be placed on modes of weld metal transfer and aluminum. Flux-core arc welding (FCAW) process will be introduced. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
This course will cover the basic techniques of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). All welding will be done in the flat and horizontal positions. 2 Lecture, 2 Lab
