Course Description:
This course is one of a two-semester sequence where students will become proficient in the theory and application of the basics of pipe welding. Emphasis is on safety, and welding in the 1G and 2G position. Welding processes used will be SMAW, GTAW, and GMAW while welding with carbon steel and stainless steel pipe joints. 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.
