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.
