10 courses with the subject WTT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
WTT 001Welding Safety
In this course students will learn the basics of welding safety, including proper use of equipment, and proper techniques so that the risk of injury will be minimized. The knowledge gained in this course will provide a solid foundation for the welder’s success in the workplace. By learning the safety systems for protection, electrical safety and ventilation the PTTI student will be endowed with the safety skills valuable to an employer.
Students will learn the basic theory and application for the practice of welding. The course is designed for students to gain the knowledge of mathematics used in the shop, learn and understand key terminology, and perform basic knowledge experiments as they begin to formulate a foundation for welding. This course will also reinforce the knowledge gained from the safety course prior to beginning shop applications and other important operations.
Blueprint reading is an important piece to becoming a professional welder. PTT students will learn how to accurately read and interpret a blueprint in order to properly achieve such goals as tasked. While applying such previously learned things as shop math a student will compound that learning by being able to assess drawing scales and dimensioning. PTT students will also learn computer drawings and special views along with other important skill sets to become a proficient blueprint reader.
The MIG process of welding is a welder’s pride and joy, and PTT students will become masters of this trade. Students will be able to perform the many positions and welding types after completing this course. The students will understand terminology along with the physical hands-on application of the things learned in text. With the many hours spent in shop working the students will be able to control amperage, densities wire feeds. The student will also have experience in metal prepping, gun angles, transfers, and the equipment necessary to fulfill MIG duties.
Stick welding basics will be established in order to set a foundation for PTT students to be prepared for the Stick welding II advanced course. In this course students will continue to demonstrate the safety practices established in course WTT001 in order to ensure applicable learning and safety in the process. In Stick Welding 1 student will gain knowledge of electrical measurement and SMA welding arc heating etc. Page 46 of 84
PTT students will have the opportunity to experiment and gain expertise in the process of Plasma Cutting and Beveling. This will become applicable in the long run for their versatility in welding and other processes. Strengths such as this will allow the student to achieve in the welding world. In this course a student will become proficient in the tools necessary to perform and complete this process along with safety, compressions, input of heat and gas cables etc.
After receiving the necessary base in order to properly stick weld the students advancing to stick welding, students will advance to more technical hands-on work allowing for them to fully grasp the application of this type of welding. In positions (1F), (2F), (3F), (4F). The student will create lap joints and tee joints. In the positions (1G), (2G), (3G), (4G) students will create butt joints, perform root pass, etc.
WTT 008Introduction to Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG)
PTT students will learn the basics of TIG welding and advance to the in-shop applications of those skill sets. Students will become proficient TIG welders in this course. They will apply theory and practice in order to ensure professional, and workplace acceptable TIG welds. The students will be imparted with such knowledge as the setup and operations, types of electrodes, GTA current. Pre and post flow, shielding Gas, arc welding, and tungsten contamination etc.
Students will acquire real-time, hands-on, on-the-job education-related experience and apply learned skills as a component of their education. Emphasis will be placed on applying skills learned, working well with other employees, teamwork, and helping companies become more productive. The 200-hour externship experience will provide students with the opportunity to provide employees with high quality standards of work. Page 47 of 84
