WEL 246  Gas Tungsten Arc Welding I  (3)  

Through classroom and/or lab/shop learning and assessment activities, students in this course will explain the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, demonstrate the safe and correct set-up of the GTAW work station, relate GTAW electrode and filler metal classifications with base metals and joint build pads of weld beads with selected electrodes and filler material in the flat position, build pads of weld beads with selected electrodes and filler material in the horizontal position, perform basic GTAW welds on selected weld joints, and perform visual inspection of GTAW welds. Prerequisites: WEL 131 Shielded Metal Arc Welding I

WEL 250  Workplace Skills II  (2)  

Workplace skills include writing a resume and job search technique. This section is at the very end of the program and if a student is going directly into the work force then resumes should be sent to prospective employers. Any job searches and possible job interviews will take place during this section. This is also final preparation for the exit assessment by using Key Train software for Applied Math and Reading for Information.

WEL 267  Gas Tungsten Arc Welding II  (3)
