Mr. Lorenzo Johnson welcomes you to the Welding Theory

and Application Online Newsletter.



The Welding Theory and Applications curriculum is designed to prepare the students for entry level employment in the field of welding and fabrication. Students in Welding I complete study in occupational orientation and safety, basic math, introduction to blueprints (welding symbols), hand and power tools, Oxy/Fuel operations, and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Students in Welding II complete study in occupational orientation and safety, advanced shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), semi-automatic arc welding [gas metal arc welding and flux-cored arc welding (GMAW/FCAW)], gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), carbon arc cutting principles and practices (CAC-A), plasma arc cutting (PAC), and employability skills.











The welding competencies required in this curriculum were developed to coincide with Contren Core/Welding I and II. The contributions of this resource are hereby acknowledged.
