Students will develop print interpretation skills needed in metal fabrication. Learners study prints containing section views, detail views, and weld symbols. Learners apply concepts in hands-on activities, print interpretation skills, calculating dimensions, identifying and interpreting weld symbols.

Students will develop skills in gas metal arc welding. Learners use the “mig” process in all positions on carbon steel. Required welds include fillet and groove welds with short circuit, spray and pulsed spray transfer. Weld quality is assessed per AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Code. Prerequisite(s): 10442172C00 Safety in Manufacturing (B or better) (concurrent enrollment allowed).

Students will perform AWS bend test and AWS entry level fabrication project using the GMAW welding process on carbon steel. Learners will complete these welds and weldments conducted per AWS D1.1- Structural Steel Code.

Develops skill in thermal cutting and gouging processes. Learners practice manual and machine oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting and gouging and air carbon arc gouging. Prerequisite(s): 10442172C00 Safety in Manufacturing (B or better) (concurrent enrollment allowed).

Students will develop skills in gas metal arc pulse welding. Learners use the “mig” process in flat, horizontal, and vertical positions on stainless steel. Required welds include fillet and groove welds with pulsed spray transfer. Weld quality is assessed per AWS standards. Prerequisite(s): 10442172C00 Safety in Manufacturing (B or better) (concurrent enrollment allowed).

Students will perform AWS entry level fabrication project using the GMAW-P welding process on stainless steel. Learners will complete these welds and weldments conducted per AWS standards.

Students will develop skills in gas metal arc pulse welding. Learners use the “mig” process in flat, horizontal, and vertical positions on aluminum. Required welds include fillet and groove welds with pulsed spray transfer. Weld quality is assessed per AWS standards.
