Course Title
Welding Principles and Safety
+
This module introduces the students to the basic principles of Welding, the different welding processes, and employment in welding. The module will address workplace safety and safe operating procedures. Additionally, this module provides students with training in OSHA 10 regulations and CPR First Aid training. Students will be instructed on storing and moving equipment, shielding gasses, and storing fluids in a safe manner. This module also teaches the safe use of many welding tools and the different types of welding equipment. This course will cover the characteristics of hazardous wastes and its safe handling, storage, and disposal. There are no prerequisites.
Welding Blueprint Reading and Planning
+
This module teaches students the basic elements of a welding blueprint, which consists of drawings and welding symbols, and how to read them. The module introduces students to planning procedures including reading a working drawing, selecting materials and procedural steps. Students read and apply a drawing to a project. Prerequisite: WD 110.
This module teaches students the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or MIG welding process, including equipment, welding terms and safety procedures. Students will learn setup, operation and perform bead, single and multiple pass butt and tee, lap and outside corner welds in the flat, horizontal positions. Students will learn how to produce single V-groove butt joint welds in the vertical up, flat, and overhead position. Fillet lap and T-joint welds in the horizontal and vertical down position will be included. Students will also be able to utilize the spray transfer method to produce fillet lap joint welds in the flat and horizontal position and single V-groove welds in the flat position. Prerequisite: WD 110.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding
+
This module teaches students the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process utilizing low-hydrogen (E-7018) and non-low-hydrogen (E-6010) electrodes, including, various welding equipment, welding terms and safety procedures. Students will learn how to strike and control arc to produce quality welds. Students will learn how to deposit a pad of beads in the flat position. Students will be able to produce lap joint fillet welds in the horizontal position and a padded plate of beads in the flat position. Students will learn how to produce fillet welds in lap and T-joints, stringer beads, and square-groove welds in butt joints using the shielded metal arc welding process. Multi-pass fillet welds in lap and T-joints will be covered. Prerequisite: WD 110.
Flux Core d Arc Welding
+
This module teaches students the flux cored arc welding (FCAW) process, including equipment, welding terms and safety procedures. Students will learn how to produce single-V-groove butt joint welds using self-shielded tubular electrode wire. Students will also produce fillet weld lap joints and single-V-groove butt joints with metal-cored wire and single-V-groove welds in butt joints. Prerequisite: WD 110
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
+
This module teaches students the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process including equipment, terms, and safety procedures. Students will learn how to setup, adjust, and shut down gas tungsten arc welding equipment. Students will be able to deposit stringer beads in the flat position, produce fillet welds in lap joints, butt joints, corner joints, and tee joints. Prerequisite: WD 110.
This module teaches the fundamental principles of joining ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, including equipment, welding terms and safety procedures. Students will learn how to use the correct tools and equipment for cutting and beveling joint during fabrication. Metallurgy will also be covered. Prerequisite: WD 110.
Oxy-Fuel Welding and Cutting Processes
+
In this module students will be introduced to the oxy-fuel welding process and other less common processes along with their most common usages in the industry. Cutting processes along with their advantages and disadvantages will be described. Students will learn how to produce fillet welds in lap and T-joints, stringer beads, and square-groove welds in butt joints using the shielded metal arc welding process. Multi-pass fillet welds in lap and T-joints will be covered. Prerequisite: WD 110.
Metal Fabrication and Lay-out
+
This module introduces students to the principles and practices of metal fabrication including layout and design techniques, while emphasizing proper operation of drilling, cutting, threading, grinding, and related equipment. Students are exposed to basic design techniques used to fabricate basic metal projects, measurement, basic shop math, and related trade applications. Prerequisite: WD 110.
