Students developkey fundamental skills during the initial courses and learn to apply theseskills using different and more complex welding procedures. The weldingprocedures include Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas MetalArc Welding (GMAW/MIG), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and GasTungsten Arc Gas Welding (GTAW/TIG). Using each of these procedures,students learn to weld plate in various positions including horizontal, vertical,and overhead. Students also learn various techniques for cutting and preparingmetal for welding procedures.numbercourseUpon successful completion of all components of this program, the graduateshould possess the working knowledge and skills to qualify as a structuralwelder using any one of three standard welding processes in construction,fabrication, or plant maintenance work settings. Students should be able tosuccessfully complete pre-qualification tests for any construction structural orpipe related projects.Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignment in each ditsWLD111ANWelding and Cutting Fundamentals60601205.0WLD112ANBasic Arc Welding Procedures50701204.5WLD111ANWLD113ANSMAW – Plate Welding30901204.5WLD111AN, WLD112ANWLD114ANGMAW/FCAW (MIG) – Plate Welding30901204.5WLD111AN, WLD112ANWLD115ANGTAW (TIG) – Welding Procedures30901204.5WLD111AN, WLD112ANWLD118ANGMAW/GTAW – Fabrication Processes30901204.5WLD111AN, WLD112AN,WLD114AN, WLD115AN23049072027.5TOTALS{Maximum Time Frame (MTF) 41.0 credits}NOTE: Course numbers and sequences are listed here for reference only.
