  • 7.00 Credits

    Introduces the major theory, safety practices, and techniques required for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) in the overhead position. Qualification tests, overhead position, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making industrial standard welds. Topics include: SMAW safety and health practices; production of welds of uniform width and height; manipulation of electrodes to produce specification welds; overhead joints; and use of low hydrogen, mild steel, and other common electrodes in overhead position welding. Contact hours: Class - 3, Lab - 7. Credit hours: 6. (E)
  • 4.00 Credits

    Emphasizes welding symbols and definitions through which the engineer or designer communicates with the welder. Welding symbols are considered an integral part of blueprint reading for the welder. Topics include: welding symbols and abbreviations; basic joints for weldment fabrications; industrially used welds; surfacing back or backing, and melt-thru welds; and structural shapes and joint design. Contact hours: Class - 1, Lab - 4. Credit hours: 3. (E)
