Prerequisite: None.
 
A course in Semi-automatic welding processes, with emphasis on Gas-metal-arc-welding, Flux-cored-arc welding, and Submerged-arc-welding. The course covers the responsibilities of integrating computers, and automated manufacturing with high-tech joining processes. 27 hours lecture and 81 hours laboratory.
 
SHORT DESCRIPTION FOR CLASS SCHEDULE
The course integrates Semi-automated welding processes; GMAW, FCAW, and SAW with high-tech production.
 
ADVISORY ENTRY SKILLS
None.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
 Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:

1.   Demonstrate the ability to set-up and shut-down all welding equipment
      and accessories as designated.

2.   Prepare and describe the various joint designs on pipe and plate
      material.

3.   Identify assorted welding symbols and their applications.

4.   Recognize welding electrodes that apply to the following processes:
      GMAW, FCAW, and SAW.

5.   Demonstrate the use of computers in searching for base metals and ther
      various welding parameters.

6.   Demonstrate welding competencies by completing a series of assigned
      exercises in GMAW, FCAW, and SAW.

7.   Explain the theory and operation of the inverter power supply.
