WELD –WELDTC DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

and types of prints. Emphasis is placed on orthographic projection and isometric views to help the learner develop the visual relationship between an object and a print in the fi rst weeks of the course. Students get hands-on experience with prints for analysis of dimensions, welding symbols, material list, parts of a print, and all the conventions used in the workplace. Students will learn basic weld joints, welding symbols and knowledge of AWS standards for welding symbols. WELD-380 Credits: 1 Welding Trades Mathematics Provides a focus on mathematics used in industry including fractions, decimals, percent, tolerance, various measurements, the metric system and geometry. Students apply contextual word problems while learning numeric functions. Basic mathematical processes and use of a calculator should be known prior to taking this course. WELDTC – Welding Technology (Department: 621) WELDTC-101 Credits: 2 Welding Theory 1 This course covers the theory and application of the gas tungsten arc welding and oxy-fuel welding and cutting processes. The major safety standard, ANSI Z49.1 Safety Welding and Cutting, is studied in detail. WELDTC-102 Credits: 3 Welding Theory 2 This course covers theory and process control of the major consumable arc welding processes: SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and SAW. Computer-based information systems are used to identify, research and write four technical papers in the lab portion of the course.

Weldability of Materials This course examines the characteristics of weldable materials and their properties that a ff ect weldability: “the capacity of a material to be welded under the imposed fabrication conditions into a speci fi c, suitably designed structure and to perform satisfactorily in the intended service” (AWS A3.0). Students gain the theoretical and technical knowledge needed to research and develop preliminary welding procedures for joining the major weldable materials. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-102. WELDTC-107 Credits: 3 Fabrication Graphics The skills needed to interpret and apply the information conveyed by conventional and computer-generated fabrication blueprints are developed. Student receives hands-on experience in operating a CAD system to generate and manipulate fabrication Welding Practice 1 The purpose of this course is to give students hands-on experience in the setup and operation of the oxy-fuel, gas tungsten arc and shielded metal arc processes to weld the basic joints in all positions. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-101. WELDTC-112 Credits: 4 Welding Practice 2 The purpose of this course is to give students hands-on experience in the setup and operation of shielded metal arc, gas metal arc and fl ux-cored arc processes to weld the basic joints in all positions to commercial and code quality standards. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-102. databases. WELDTC-111 Credits: 4

Welding Techniques 1 The purpose of this course is to give the theoretical and technical knowledge needed to develop, write and qualify welding procedures and welders to written speci fi cations and codes, and to pass the National Certi fi ed Welding Inspector’s Exam. Prerequisite(s): Complete WELDTC-102. WELDTC-114 Credits: 3 Welding Techniques 2 This course gives students hands-on experience in developing, writing and testing welding procedures to the major welding codes. Students also test and qualify welders to the major codes. Prerequisite(s): Complete WELDTC-102. WELDTC-135 Credits: 4 Automated Welding Processes Students gain hands-on experience in fi xturing, setting up, troubleshooting, programming and operating automated welding equipment including robots and computer-controlled plasma-cutting systems. Prerequisite(s): Complete WELDTC-112. Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-140. WELDTC-140 Credits: 4 Manufacturing Applications for Robots Robots used in manufacturing are studied. Students receive hands-on experience in programming a tool-manipulating robot. Basic mechanisms, hydraulics and pneumatics are covered. WELDTC-181 Credits: 1 Welding Technology Orientation This course is designed to assist the students in becoming acquainted with the educational and vocational opportunities at MATC and to help them make satisfactory adjustments to their school environment. It also gives them an overview of technical careers in the welding fi eld.
