WELD1420 GMAW - MIG Wire Feed I In this course the student will learn the proper machine set-up from turning on the power switch to performing various weld joints in the flat position. The student will learn the identification of the different MIG machine parts as well as demonstrate how to set the machine for various thicknesses of metal and different types of wire (filler metal) when used during the different welding processes. The student will also examine and identify the differences between good welds and bad welds such as welds that are too cold, too hot, or have other variables or inconsistencies. (Prerequisite: None) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1425 GMAW-MIG Wire Feed II This course is a continuation of WELD1420 (GMAW-MIG Wire Feed I)and will expand the student’s knowledge and practice to include more welding positions. All the welding will take place in the vertical up position and/or the overhead position. The student will also learn the differences in machine set-up to accommodate these other positions. (Prerequisite: WELD1420) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1430 GTAW-Tungsten Inert Gas Weld I This course will teach and demonstrate the differences of Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG) welding to that of the stick welding and the MIG welding. The student will learn the proper machine set-up, proper selection of gases for different processes, proper selection and types of tungsten electrodes and the proper polarity to use when welding. The student will demonstrate puddle control, bead layout and various joint welds with aluminum alloy. (Prerequisite: None) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1435 GTAW - Tungsten Inert Gas Welding II This course is a continuation of WELD1430 (GTAW-TIG 1) and will expand the student’s knowledge and practice to include stainless steel welding. The student will learn to interpret the material specific processes for aluminum and stainless steel as well as practice the proper tungsten preparation and polarity. (Prerequisite: WELD1430) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1440 Workplace Projects & Fabrication Capstone The student will be introduced to fabrication practices and techniques. The student will demonstrate project fabrication from concept and drawings, through building techniques to completion. Projects will consist of smaller personal projects and/or a larger class project. All projects must be approved by the instructor and will be supervised from concept on through completion of the project. Demonstration of welding techniques learned from the other courses will be practiced so this must be taken as one of the last classes in the program. (Prerequisites: HLTH1515, MATH0520, WELD1420, WELD1430, this course may be taken concurrently with WELD1425 and WELD1435) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1442 Individualized Welding Skills Lab This course is a hand-on, open laboratory time available to both the skilled and unskilled welder for the opportunity to improve or develop his/her welding application skills. Students will have access to SMAW (stick), GMAW (MIG), FCAW (flux-cored), and GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Enhancement and/or introduction of all 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G welding positions will also be encouraged to help broaden the welder’s abilities. (Prerequisite: Instructor interview and approval required) (2 credits: 0 lecture/2 lab) (4 hour lab session) 166 Course Descriptions WELD1443 Welding Fabrication Project This course is an elective course for the Welding program. The student will complete a personal or class welding fabrication project. All projects must be approved by the instructor and will be supervised from concept on through completion of the project. The student will demonstrate proper welding techniques and fabrication concepts while working on the project. The student will be liable for all the expenses for any personal project that they complete. (Prerequisites: HLTH1515, MATH0520, WELD1420, WELD1430, this course may be taken concurrently with WELD1425 and WELD1435) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) WELD1444 Individualized Welding Skills Lab This course is a hands-on, open laboratory time available to both the skilled and unskilled welder for the opportunity to improve or develop welding application skills. Students will have access to SMAW (stick), GMAW (MIG), FCAW (flux-cored), and GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Enhancement and/or introduction of all 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G welding positions will also be encouraged to help broaden the welder’s abilities. (Prerequisite: Instructor interview and approval required) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab) (6 hour lab session) WELD1449 Welding Internship This course is designed around a student attaining an internship in a business. The student internship may be paid or unpaid as agreed to between the student and the business. The student will need to demonstrate welding competencies as designed by the instructor and the business. A person from the business will monitor the student’s work and will be the judge as to whether or not the student is passing the course or not passing the course. The student will need to demonstrate professionalism and proper welding techniques to pass the course. This course is a PASS or NO CREDIT course. The instructor will maintain bi-weekly contact with the business to discuss the student progress reviews. (Prerequisites: WELD1420, WELD1430) (2 credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/2 OJT) WELD1450 Welding Internship This course is designed around a student attaining an internship in a business.

A person from the business will monitor the student’s work and will be the judge as to whether or not the student is passing the course or not passing the course. The student will need to demonstrate professionalism and proper welding techniques to pass the course. This course is a PASS or NO CREDIT course. The instructor will maintain bi-weekly contact with the business to discuss the student progress reviews. (Prerequisites: WELD1420, WELD1430, this course may be taken concurrently with WELD1425 and WELD1435) (3 credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/3 OJT) WELD1455 Trades Enhancement Welding Students will be introduced to different welding and cutting processes. Covered in this course will be proper weld fusion, heat distortion, penetration, and their effects to the parent material. Students will learn the basics of proper welding and cutting machine set up from turning the machine on and off and identification of machine parts to demonstrating and identifying the differences between good quality welds and poor quality welds. Students will be introduced to and demonstrate weld shop safety and practice, and proper compressed cylinder transport and storage. (3 credits: 2 lecture/1 lab)
