WELD
9 courses with the subject WELD, 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.
WELD 101Introduction to Welding, Safety and Careers3
In this course students will be introduced to the various types of welding methods and equipment used. Students will learn about personal protection and safety while operating welding equipment. Students will also be introduced to two different types of thermal cutting using both plasma and oxy/fuel equipment. Also covered will be the many careers and positions that a successful welder may pursue and how to become certified in the industry.
Students will learn about the welding codes and standards, terms, and definitions used in welding documentation. Additionally, they will acquire the applied math and measurement skills needed for planning, preparation, and fabrication of projects. Students will also learn how to read blue prints, technical drawings, and welding symbols. Also, they will learn about welding joint design along with best fabrication techniques and practices.
The GMAW-2 course will build upon the knowledge and skills that students previously learned. In addition to the flat and horizontal planes, students will perform vertical and overhead welds to produce lap, tee, butt, and butt with backing bar. Additionally, students will learn how to correctly set up and operate a GMAW welder, change out whips/guns, set up different shielding gas, and replace the rollers.
Students will use the skills they learned while stick welding in previous courses to perform horizontal, vertical and overhead welding operations on flat steel plates using fillet- and groovestyle joints. Additionally, students will learn how to correctly set up and operate a SMAW welder, replace the electrode/stick holder, and gain an understanding of carbon arc gouging.
Students will discover the benefits of both gas and gasless flux-cored welding and where they are used. They will learn how to set up and operate flux-cored welding equipment. Students will perform multiple joint types and carry out welds in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions.
WELD-101: Introduction to Welding, Safety and Careers
WELD 126Gas Tungsten Arc Welding3
This course will introduce the student to gas tungsten arc welding, its characteristics and safety. Using the information they have learned in previous courses, students will develop the skills necessary to make gas tungsten arc welds on different metals, using both direct and alternating current methods.
Students will be introduced to the different methods of welding pipe. They will learn various welding positions, and how to use the correct tools and equipment for cutting and beveling joints during assembly.
Students will build projects using the skills learned throughout the program. They will use blueprinting and project planning skills along with both GMAW and FCAW processes and equipment to fabricate specific projects. Students will demonstrate their ability to perform multiple weld types in various positions.
