18.00 - 19.00 Units. Specified core courses are signified by icon.| Course Name | Units | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| WLD 22: Oxyacetylene Welding and Flame Cutting | 2.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This course includes the techniques used for oxyacetylene welding (OAW) in all positions (flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead) and uses a variety of freehand and automatic burning equipment on different metals. |
|||
| WLD 24: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick Electrode) | 8.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This course includes pre-employment training for welding technicians. Emphasis on developing manipulative proficiency in the use of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and flux core arc welding (FCAW), in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. These welding processes will be applied to light and heavy gauge plate steel for light construction. Part of the Level Two welder qualification for American Welding Society (AWS). |
|||
| WLD 25: Fabrication Practicums | 2.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This course will instruct students on theory and proper operation and applications of equipment, tools, fasteners and processes used in welding and fabrication industries. Emphasis is placed in hands-on applications. |
|||
| WLD 26: Symbol Reading, Blue Print Interpretation and Computations | 3.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This course includes an introduction to blueprint reading and welding symbols interpretation as applied to measurement and computations of metal and pipe layouts. Included within the course are layout and marking tool techniques used in the welding industry. Techniques of fabrication, structured materials listing and assembly methods will be emphasized. |
|||
| WLD 40: Welding Equipment Maintenance and Service | 2.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This course is a study of the theory, application and practices for welding equipment. This will include the maintenance and service skills for the equipment used in the welding industry. |
|||
| WLD 154: Shop Practices for Welders I | 1.00 - 2.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): WLD 21 and NCCER Level I Welding Qualification This is a supervised lab experience for first semester welding program students. Students will practice skills in oxyacetylene welding (OAW), oxy-fuel cutting (OFC), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and flux core arc welding (FCAW) in all positions (flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead). Students will also use a variety of freehand and automatic burning equipment including plasma arc cutting (PAC) units and air carbon arc cutting and gouging (CAC-A) units. |
