Course #	Title	Credit Hours
CS 030	Communications for the Trades	42	Expand In this course, students will develop the fundamental comprehension, technical, business, and oral communication skills required of employees in the trades. Upon completion of this course, you will be more adept at analyzing real-world writing scenarios; writing clearly and concisely; and communicating professionally.
WC 122	Basic Arc Welding	75	Expand 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.
WC 127	Blueprint Reading	45	Expand 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.
WC 128	Pipe to Plate	45	Expand 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.
WC 141	Welding Introduction	60	Expand 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.
WC 142	Oxy Fuel Welding and Cutting	30	Expand 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.
WC 143	T-Joints (Fillet Welds)	45	Expand 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.
