    Description
    This course is designed to be a study of Welding Technology and related Industrial Safety. The student will develop the theory and knowledge base to be able to safely and properly practice welding techniques in the following welding processes; Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Oxy/Fuel Welding and Cutting (OFW/C), and Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC). To support and enhance the understanding and application of Welding Technology principles, the student will develop an understanding of Industrial Safety Standards, Technical Drawings, Weld/Welding Symbols, Electrical Fundamentals, Fundamental Welding Metallurgy, Fundamentals of Quality Assurance, and Weld Testing/Inspection. The development of welding skills sets and practices for all applicable welding processes will require the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the application of all Safety Rules.
