|---|---|---|---|
| WLD-21: Intermediate Welding | 4 | WLD-21 is a prerequisite for admission to the Welding program, and the Welding Technology Level II certificate. 1 unit of WLD-152 is recommended to take with WLD-21, unless student has taken .5 unit of WLD-150 prior. Then .5 unit is recommended. | |
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 20 In this course students will perform welds in positions other than flat and horizontal. The content will enhance the ability of the students to perform welds out of position. The course includes welding safety, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), plasma arc cutting (PAC), air carbon arc cutting and gouging (CAC-A) welding and cutting processes. These welds will be performed in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. It will also include base metal, shielded metal arc welding electrodes, joint fit-up and alignment, groove welds with backing, and open V-groove welds. All welds will meet the American Welding Society (AWS) qualification standards. |

| WLD-152: Shop Practices for Inter WLD | 0.5 - 1 | WLD-21 is a prerequisite for admission to the Welding program, and the Welding Technology Level II certificate. 1 unit of WLD-152 is recommended to take with WLD-21, unless student has taken .5 unit of WLD-150 prior. Then .5 unit is recommended. | |
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 20 This is a supervised lab experience for intermediate welding students. Students will practice skills in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), oxy-fuel cutting (OFC), plasma arc cutting (PAC),and air carbon arc cutting and gouging (CAC-A). Welding and cutting processes will be in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions on groove welds with backing and open V-groove welds. All welds will meet the American Welding Society (AWS) qualification standards. |
