Welding Techniques Courses

In this course, students will develop the fundamental technical, business, and oral communication skills required of employees in the trades. Field-related resources are used in assignments to give you the necessary practice to improve your skills and familiarize you with typical workplace requirements. The course emphasizes adapting communication to the needs of the intended audience, selecting the appropriate strategies, and using effective communication style. Upon completion of this course, you will be more adept at analyzing real-world writing scenarios; writing clearly and concisely; developing clear explanations and arguments; writing effective sentences; and speaking professionally.

This course exposes the students to the basic theory and practice of arc welding. The course covers safe use and care of equipment, various joints and weld types in all positions. Electrode application and classification is explained and practical welding exercises are performed.

This course identifies and interprets all line types and distinguishes sectional and auxiliary views. The student will be able to interpret welding symbols, abbreviations, notes, dimensioning techniques; conduct practical exercises in component sketching; and read weldment blueprints.

This course has 2 main objectives; the first is to develop techniques and practices using 6010 and 7018 electrodes and the second is to develop uphand techniques using the pipe to plate exercise.

This course exposes the students to the beginning of the trade, basic hand tools all the way to modern power tools. Shop safety covering all aspects of the shop and its equipment. All shop practices and procedures also including knots and rope ties.

This course introduces students to the safe handling and use of potentially dangerous equipment. The student gains an understanding of the construction, operating principles, and applications of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting equipment. Correct operating techniques in fusion welding, brazing and cutting will be achieved.

In this course, the student will identify the different welding procedures for T-joints in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions. Welding exercises are demonstrated using 6010-11 and 7018 electrodes in these positions and specific safety precautions for overhead welding are addressed.

This course exposes the student to the basic theory and practices of semi-automatic and GTAW welding. The course covers construction, safety, filler metal and gas selection, equipment set-up and operation. Practical experience will be gained.

This course identifies the different welding procedures and techniques for pressure plate welding using 6010 and 7018 electrodes in all positions. Visual weld checking techniques and testing procedures are also demonstrated.

This course identifies the different chemical and physical properties of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, demonstrates the effects of welding on loose material structures, defines the material classification system and discusses weldment distortion and control techniques.

This course defines C.W.B. welding specifications and describes procedures and techniques using 7018 electrodes. Visual weld checking techniques and testing procedures are also demonstrated.

This course is an extension of WC 127 - Blue Print Reading I. This course identifies and interprets all line types and distinguishes sectional and auxiliary views. The student will be able to interpret welding symbols, abbreviations, notes, dimensioning techniques, conduct practical exercises in component sketching and reading weldment blueprints.
