16 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.
WEL 100Fundamentals of Welding3
(s) Introduces arc and oxyfuel welding and cutting. Provides fundamental principles of joining ferrous and non-ferrous metals, welding and cutting processes, equipment operation, and safety procedures with emphasis upon welding and cutting procedures.
(s) Teaches operation of AC and DC power sources, welding polarities, heats and electrodes for use in joining various metal alloys by the arc welding process. Deals with running beads, butt, and fillet welds in all positions. Emphasizes safety procedures.
(s) Continues instruction on operation of AC and DC power sources, welding polarities, heats and electrodes for use in joining various metal alloys by the arc welding process. Deals with running beads, butt, and fillet welds in all positions. Emphasizes safety procedures.
(s) Teaches metal arc welding processes including the welding of pressure piping in the horizontal, vertical, and horizontal-fixed positions in accordance with section IX of the ASME code.
(s) Introduces practical operations in the uses of inert-gas-shield arc welding. Discusses equipment, safety operations, welding practice in the various and applications, manual and semi-automatic welding.
WEL 123 and WEL 160 WEL 142 may be taken as an additional option. This option is for students in pursuit of higher-level welding qualifications such as pipe welding. Studies techniques and practices of testing welded joints through destructive and non-destructive testing.
WEL 123 and WEL 160 Studies techniques and practices of testing welded joints through destructive and non-destructive testing.
WEL 145Welding Metallurgy3
(s) Students are strongly encouraged to complete WEL 123 prior to enrolling in this course. Studies steel classifications, heat treatment procedures, properties of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Discusses techniques and practices of testing welded joints and destructive/ nondestructive, visual magnetic and fluorescent testing.
(s) Teaches fundamentals required for successful drafting as applied to the welding industry. Includes blueprint reading, geometric principles of drafting and freehand sketching, basic principles of orthographic projection, preparation of drawings and interpretation of symbols.
(s) Supervises on-the-job training in selected business, industrial or service firms coordinated by the college. Credit/practice ratio not to exceed 1:5 hours. May be repeated for credit. Variable hours.
(s) Summer course only. Students must co-enroll in WEL 241 and WEL 242. Examines safety, setup, programming, and operation of a welding robot. Covers variables and problems in addition to solutions applied to provide a practical and efficient application of the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process to an automated system. (Part I of II) Lecture 1 hour, Laboratory 3 hours.
WEL 241 Summer course only. Students must co-enroll in WEL 241 and WEL 242. Incorporates skills learned in Robotic Welding I into simulating projects used in industry. Focuses on Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes used to create weldments taken from industry drawings and blueprints. (Part II of II) Lecture 1 hour, Laboratory 3 hours.
WEL 299Supervised Study in Welding1-5
(s) May be repeated for credit. Assigns problems for independent study incorporating previous instruction and supervised by the instructor.
