WEL 171 - Advanced Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Last Date of Approval: Spring 2021
2 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 15
Total Lab Hours: 30
Course Description:
This course is the second of a two-semester sequence where students will become proficient in theory and operations of Shielded Metal Arc Welding equipment. Emphasis is on safety and welding in the vertical and overhead positions. Labs provide hands-on activities that help explain the lecture material. This course will help students refine their critical thinking skills in the shop as they develop their hands-on welding techniques, which will benefit the student in future welding careers. This course will also help students gain manufacturing communication skills to be used throughout their life.
