MATC 2024-25 Catalog

DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

procedures for joining the major weldable materials. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-102. WELDTC-107 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 databases. WELDTC-111 Credits: 4 Welding Practice 1 The purpose of this course is to give students hands-on experience in the setup and operation of welding with the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes. Students will complete various lab exercises demonstrating the ability to use both processes to perform welds that meet AWS D1.3 welding code for materials under 1/8-inch in thickness. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to understand a written welding procedure, read weld symbols, properly set up welding equipment and perform welds in all positions on various light gauge materials. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in WELDTC-101. Credits: 3

WELDTC-112

Credits: 4

WELDTC-135

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. WELDTC-113 Credits: 3 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 edWelding 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.

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.
