12 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 1001Industrial Welding Review1-3
Industrial Welding Review provides an opportunity for review prior to specific certification exams. Course content is determined by the instructor following an assessment of student needs and is open to program graduates as well as to welding professionals seeking AWS certifications.
Pattern Development has students first learn to construct basic forms and patterns using parallel, triangulation and radial line development techniques. They will then design and fabricate products using these patterns with different types of fittings and layouts common to diverse industries. Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency with tools of the trade, geometric construction and bend allowance computations.
General Welding is an introduction to welding terminology, procedures, and joint design. Students are required to run continuous weld beads with SMAW in all positions.
Fabrication Tools and Processes is an introduction to the uses, procedures, and safety hazards associated with materials handling, equipment, rigging and hoisting, and features special tools associated with metal working. Skills appropriate for multiple-work environments are emphasized.
Welding Blueprints is designed to enhance the student’s ability to visualize prints, understand geometric construction, sketch, compute tolerances, and interpret the meanings of welding symbols.
Metallurgy and Materials Testing teaches students to process and examine metallographic specimens and to identify material microscopically; to apply hardness and tensile tests and interpret results; to demonstrate an understanding of metals and their crystalline structure; and to understand the effects of heat, rates of heating and cooling, as well as alloying elements on metals. The course also includes an introduction to the mechanical testing of metals for strength, hardness, and mechanical properties.
Inert Gas Arc Welding emphasizes the making of fillet and groove welds in all positions with the GTAW (TIG), GMAW (MIG) and FCAW welding processes. Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals are used and pipe welding processes are introduced.
Pipe Welding prepares the student for pipe joint welding within the ASME, API, TRA, and AWS specifications. Students use the E6010 and E7018 electrodes and pass the visual and guided bend test in the 2G, 5G, and 6G positions. Evidence of advanced skill development in SMAW and GTAW pipe-welding is expected. Oxy-fuel cutting of ferrous metals and plasma cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals is required.
Properties of Special Materials is designed to enhance the student’s ability to prepare and weld special metals. The use of GTAW (TIG), GMAW (MIG) and special processes including preheat, pre-purge, and post-purge are featured. Current industrial practices are emphasized.
Pipe Welding II prepares the student for pipe fitting, pipe welding, and tube welding within ASME, API, and AWS specifications. Students are expected to pass both visual and guided bend tests in the 5G, 6G, and 6GR positions. Students will demonstrate advanced pipe and tube welding techniques using SMAW and GTAW on carbon steels as well as GTAW and inert gas purging on stainless steels.
WELD 2990Special Topics in Welding/Metal Fabrication1-4
Special Topics in Welding/Metal Fabrication involves individual or group projects that emphasize the ability to diagnose and solve problems relevant to welding.
