Course Syllabi

Career development as a welding technician, welder, lab technician, engineering aide, sales and service representative, or mid-manager. Emphasis is on the knowledge of ?arc? welding processes, theory ofShielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), power sources and equipment, base and filler materials, welder and procedure qualification and certification.

The study and implementation of welding design and layout. Emphasis will be on product design, compnent layout, structural shapes and weldments, technical drawings, procurement, and problem solving in welding fabrication.

Preparation for welder certification under the specific code: AWS D-1.1.

Skills and techniques necessary for certification under American Welding Society: Open Root.

A study in the basic operation of manufacturing robotic welding and cutting equipment applications using the GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) and PAC (Plasma Arc Cutting) processes.

Acquisition of knowledge associated with welding applications and processes to include plasma arc welding, resistance seam and spot welding, submerged arc welding, electroslag welding, laser beam welding, and electron beam welding; with special emphasis on the set up and use of submerged arc welding and gas metal arc welding automation equipment. Student will develop welding procedures for weld automation applications using robotic welding equipment and the use of welding simulation technology.

Structured environment allowing the student the opportunity to define learned skill sets from previous welding courses. Tailored around the interests and needs of the individual with guidance from professional staff.
