This course will provide advanced instruction in shielded metal arc welding safety, theory, and the skills used for all positions of shielded metal arc welding.

Prerequisite(s): WLD 1001, WLD 1010, WLD 110, WLD 1153, WLD 118, WLD 1303, WLD 140, WLD 150, WLD 171

Through classroom and/or lab/shop learning and assessment activities, students in this course will: describe the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process (SMAW); demonstrate the safe and correct set up of the SMAW workstation; associate SMAW electrode classifications with base metals and joint criteria; demonstrate proper electrode selection and use based on metal types and thicknesses; build pads of weld beads with selected electrodes in the flat position; build pads of weld beads with selected electrodes in the horizontal position; perform basic SMAW welds on selected weld joints; and perform visual inspection of welds

Prerequisite(s): WLD 1010 OSHA 10 and WLD 1001 Welding Safety or WLD 100 Welding Safety/OSHA 10

To provide knowledge for the welder and fitter to become familiar with the types of set-up tools and their use and to locate and align parts according to design specifications for the completed weldment.

Prerequisite(s): WLD 1001, WLD 1010, WLD 110, WLD 1153, WLD 118, WLD 1303, WLD 140, WLD 150, WLD 171

In this course students will be provided exposure to blueprint reading beginning with identification of specific lines, views, abbreviations, symbols, joints and shapes specific to the welding industry. Students will interpret basic 3D sketches using orthographic projection and blueprints and solve mathematic equations and interpret scale ratios. Use of measuring tools and interpreting a Bill of Materials are also components of this course.
