  • WELD 1405: Safety, Theory, Blueprints, & Processes

    4.00 Credits
    Minnesota State College Southeast

    Students will be introduced to theory of the welding trade. This course covers fusion, proper heat penetration, heat distortion and its effects on parent metal, how electrical currents get from filler metal to work piece, and differences in polarity used while welding. A major component will introduce students to safe practices in welding. Students will learn the importance of personal safety equipment and apparel and how to protect against short and long term injury. Students will learn to identify dangers, how to eliminate problems through examination and to make minor repair to welding equipment and tools as expected in the trade. Students will be given an overview of blueprint reading including proper nomenclature for lines and views, reading of notes and specifications as well as identification of weld symbols. An overview of welding processes will be introduced from the fast moving production shop to the iron worker in the field. (Prerequisite: None) (4 credits: 4 lecture/0 lab)

  • WELD 1440: Workplace Projects & Fabrication Capstone

    3.00 Credits
    Minnesota State College Southeast

    The student will be introduced to fabrication practices and techniques. The student will demonstrate project fabrication from concept and drawings, through building techniques to completion. Projects will consist of smaller personal projects and/or a larger class project. All projects must be approved by the instructor and will be supervised from concept on through completion of the project. Demonstration of welding techniques learned from the other courses will be practiced so this must be taken as one of the last classes in the program. (Prerequisites: HLTH1515, MATH0520, WELD1420, WELD1430, this course may be taken concurrently with WELD1425 and WELD1435) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab)
