Description

This course introduces students to welding and cutting
processes in theory and in a shop environment. Students will
receive an overview of various techniques, including Shield
Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW),
Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG/GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (TIG/GTAW) that will be applied to various metals.
Emphasis will be placed on developing proper welding
techniques in all positions. Students will also learn the
procedures for preparing materials, using oxy-fuel cutting and
carbon arc gouging. By the end of the course, students will be
prepared for the American Welding Society (AWS) certification
test and vertical SMAW, GTAW/TIG, GMAW/MIG, and FCAW
on steel plates. Twelve credit hours
