Units: 7.5
Hours: 72 hours LEC; 198 hours LAB
Grade Options: Letter Grade
This course is designed to prepare students for the extensive skills required in the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and the Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) processes as they apply in the commercial and industrial trades. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals/alloys are explored. Theory and application, as well as weld symbol/blueprint reading are emphasized. Manipulative skills in these processes are stressed by completion of laboratory exercises and projects. AWS/ASME codes, standards, and safety procedures are discussed and incorporated throughout course of study.
