Welding

Instructional Program (CIP)

Description

1. Course Objective:

Description: The Welding program prepares individuals to acquire welding techniques and be product verified with weldment testing. They will develop a working knowledge of blueprint reading and the welding processes for Shielded Metal ARC Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux Cored ARC Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten ARC Welding (GTAW) with the use of thermal cutting equipment. Students will learn about the tools and equipment for the welding trade.

Competencies to be achieved: During this 5-month program students will learn:

• Blueprint reading, tools and equipment


• Shielded Metal ARC Welding (SMAW)


• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)


• Flux Cored ARC Welding (FCAW)


• Gas Tungsten ARC Welding (GTAW)
