3.00 Credits
2 class hours, 2 lab hours Designed to be a beginning experience with welding processes for auto body repair, automotive technology, diesel hydraulics and welding and metal fabrication students, this course helps the student develop basic knowledge and skills through a primary focus on gas welding. Discussions of gas welding processes including oxy-acetylene brazing, cutting and welding and plasma and track cutting are conducted as well as a basic introduction to MIG and TIG welding processes. Lab activities provide a variety of hands-on practice with gas welding and cutting processes. Safe handling of welding equipment and supplies is strongly emphasized as is overall shop safety.

3.00 Credits
2 class hours, 2 lab hours Helps plumbing and heating students develop a basic knowledge of welding processes related to that field. A basic introduction to gas welding techniques includes oxy-acetylene brazing, cutting and welding, silver soldering and plasma cutting. Next, students are introduced to arc welding processes with a focus on arc, TIG and MIG welding processes. Discussion of equipment and materials used is related to the needs of the plumbing and heating occupation. Lab activities provide practice in developing basic skills in gas welding and cutting processes as well as arc welding processes. The focus is on developing an understanding of the equipment, proper selection of welding process determined by the equipment being joined, and the differences in technique necessary for welding in different positions. Safe handling of welding equipment and supplies is strongly emphasized as is overall shop safety.

2 class hours, 2 lab hours Designed to be a beginning experience with welding processes for auto body repair, automotive technology, diesel hydraulics and welding and metal fabrication students, this course helps the student develop basic knowledge and skills necessary to the understanding of welding through a primary focus on arc welding including stick, MIG and TIG processes. Discussion focuses on developing an understanding of the different arc welding processes, associated types of equipment and welding materials, and the appropriate selection of welding process as dictated by the materials being joined. Lab activities provide practice in developing basic skills in arc welding processes related to the student's chosen field. The focus is on developing an understanding of equipment operation, proper selection of welding process determined by the equipment being joined, and the differences in technique for welding in different positions on different thickness materials. Safe handling of equipment and supplies and overall shop safety is strongly emphasized.

3.00 Credits
2 class hours, 2 lab hours Designed to be an advanced discussion of welding techniques, this course helps students further develop and fine-tune basic skills previously attained. Students will have the opportunity to develop indepth knowledge of gas and arc welding techniques related to their occupational field, including specialty welding materials not previously discussed. Students will have the opportunity to develop advanced skills in GTAW, GMAW, PAE and SMAW in all positions. As a result of this learning experience, students should be prepared to take AWS certification exams in structural and pipe welding. Safe handling of welding equipment and supplies is strongly emphasized as is overall shop safety. Prerequisite: WEI 111 or WEI 123 or WEI 133
