11 courses with the subject WEL, 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.
Theory in oxyfuel principles, basic arc welding and power source operation. Demonstrations by instructor and practice by students in basic oxyacetylene cutting and arc welding. Theory, safe and correct methods of assembly and operation of welding equipment. Use of power tools, Practice in SMAW, GMAW and GTAW in a flat position. Emphasis on lab techniques and safety.
TECHNOLOGY INTERNSHIP 1-12-3 Students will obtain experience in the welding industry through a combination of occupational instruction and on-the-job training. This course integrates classroom occupational study with a planned supervised practical work experience. Prerequisite(s): Permission of
Instruction, practice and application of reading, writing and interpreting ASME, AWS and API specifications and codes for structural steel, pressure vessel and pipe welding.
Provides students with an understanding of metal fabrication. Emphasis is placed working from blueprints, proper joint selection, design, stresses in welds, material selection and estimating welding costs. Students construct projects using common metal fabrication equipment. Laboratory work includes use of welding power supplies, brake press, ironworker and metal rollers. Prerequisite(s): DFT 110, WEL 125 2026-2027 Westmoreland County Community College Catalog
Aluminum is gaining popularity in modern manufacturing processes due to its lightweight strength and advancements in grades and alloys for a variety of applications. This course is designed to introduce the student to the fundamentals of aluminum welding, grades of aluminum and their properties. Classroom and laboratory activities include proper aluminum preparation, demonstrations and practice of aluminum welding using gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and the inspection of aluminum welds. Prerequisite(s): WEL 125
This course includes visual, dye penetrant, x-ray, ultrasonic, magnetic particle and destructive testing techniques. Lab practice is included. Prerequisite(s): MET 105
The course provides students with an understanding of advanced metal fabrication. Emphasis is placed on the proper joint selection and design, stresses in welds, material selection and estimating welding costs. Students construct projects using common metal fabrication equipment. Laboratory work includes use of welding power supplies, shears, ironworker and metal rollers. This course builds on what was learned in WEL 221 with more complex projects and in-depth theory. Prerequisite(s): WEL 221
