WLD 1004Welding Fundamentals4
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts, equipment, and techniques used in common welding processes including Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), and Oxyfuel Welding/Cutting. Students will learn basic weld bead development, machine setup, polarity, and electrode/filler selection. Emphasis is placed on understanding each process’s application, strengths, and limitations.
Students will learn to interpret welding blueprints, technical drawings, and industry-standard welding symbols. The course covers reading dimensions, tolerances, joint types, weld locations, and sequence. Emphasis is placed on applying this knowledge to real-world fabrication projects and shop layouts, building essential communication skills between design and production teams.
This hands-on course teaches students to use oxy-fuel and plasma arc cutting systems safely and effectively. Topics include manual and mechanized cutting, piercing, beveling, and cutting out complex shapes. Students will also cover cutting safety, gas setup, and shut down, tip selection, and basic maintenance procedures.
This course focuses on developing foundational SMAW skills using E6010 and E7018 electrodes on mild steel in the flat and horizontal positions. Students will practice fillet and groove welds on carbon steel plates while learning about joint design, electrode classification, and basic weld inspection methods. This course emphasizes arc control, rod angle, and weld bead consistency.
This course in electric arc welding provides students with knowledge of equipment, safety precautions, and shop practice. Students will make basic types of welds in most positions, and study welding technology, design of joints, and electric classifications. Lecture 2 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course is designed for individuals enrolled in technical programs requiring a general knowledge of welding and cutting processes. This course is not designed to teach welding as a means of artistic expression. It will cover the fundamentals, safety precautions, and shop practices related to Gas Metal Arc Welding, Flux-Core Welding and Cutting Processes. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 3 hours per week.
This course includes in-depth study and practice of the Gas Tungsten Arc welding process. The student’s experience begins with the development of manipulative skills though Shielded Metal Arc Welding, then progresses to similar application with TIG Welds in the standard positions. The student will master joint designs on carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Lecture 2 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course includes in-depth study and practice of the Gas Metal Arc welding process. The student will learn the principles of constant voltage power source and the mechanics and maintenance of the wire feeding system. Upon successful completion of the course, students will acquire the ability to successful MIG weld using the short circuit transfer on stainless and mild steel. Lecture 2 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course introduces students to precision welding using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG) process. Instruction includes welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in flat and horizontal positions. Topics include filler rod selection, electrode types, shielding gases, and heat input control. The course emphasizes weld aesthetics and distortion control. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 3 hours per week.
WLD 1204. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
WLD 2705Advanced TIG Certification5
This course is a detailed study and practice of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding procedures used in industry. The student will learn advanced techniques that are applicable to the pipeline and tube welding job market. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course provides an in-depth study of advanced techniques in the (1G, 3G and 4G) uphill and overhead position. The training will prepare the student to pass the D1.1 American Welding Society (AWS) code. Lecture 3 hours and Laboratory 6 hours per week.
