Welding Fundamentals of Welding Technology- Course #1985T0 This course will introduce students to the basic fundamentals of welding and cutting. Students will become familiar with welding safety, welding terms and joints, oxyfuel welding, brazing and various other welding processes. Students will also be introduced to blueprint reading, metal layout and A.W.S. weldng symbol interpretation. Good hand, eye coordination and math skills should be possessed. CSO's (No prerequisites) Thermal Cutting & Welding Course #1995T0 This course will introduce students to the fundamentals needed to effectively use the oxyfuel, air carbon arc and plasma cutting processes to cut steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Students will further their skills in oxyfuel welding and brazing techniques. CSO's (No prerequisites) Shielded Metal Arc Welding Course #1993T0 This course will introduce students to the basic skills needed to perform shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Students should have good hand, eye coordination, math skills and safety awareness. Students will perform welds in the 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G positions on carbon steel plate and be preparing to pass the state welding certification. SMAW pipe welding will also be introduced with state certification possible. CSO's (No prerequisites) Gas Metal Arc Welding Course #1987T1 This course will introduce students to the basic skills needed to perform gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW). Student should have good hand, eye coordination, math skills and safety awareness. Students will perform welds in the 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G positions on carbon steel. GMAW will be performed in the short circuit and spray arc transfer modes. State certifications are available in the GMAW plate and pipe and FCAW plate. CSO's (Prerequisites courses #1985T0, #1995T0, #1993T0) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding II Course #1989T20 This course will introduce students to the basic skill needed to perform gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Students will perform welds in the 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, positions on carbon steel and 1F, 2F, 3F, 1G, 2G positions on stainless steel. Students will also be introduced to welding aluminum with GTAW in the flat and horizontal positions. Students should possess excellent eye-hand coordination, math skills and safety awareness. State certification is available in carbon steel plate and pipe.
