Course Description:

Entry-level course in Welding Safety, basic oxyacetylene welding/cutting, GTAW, and SMAW. This course is designed to introduce students to some of the fundamental tools, equipment, materials, and processes used in the various fields of welding. The course is designed around workplace safety and job readiness skills. Students will gain knowledge about career opportunities, requirements, and the development of basic skills that will help prepare them for success.

Course Goals:

Students will develop welding proficiency in position 1 and 2 using the three welding processes, oxyacetylene welding, GTAW, and SMAW. Students will be expected to pass a position certification test in at least one welding process at the end of the school year. Student will be expected to pass all module testing with a 70% or above.

Student Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate work safety in the welding shop according to instructor, school, and OHSA regulations.

2. Demonstrate proper oxyacetylene, GTAW, and SMAW safety and setup.

3. Demonstrate proper oxyacetylene welding/cutting, GTAW, and SMAW welding procedures and techniques.

4. Demonstrate sufficient knowledge of oxyacetylene, GTAW, SMAW systems and materials used through module testing.

Instructional Methods:

The basic welding/cutting concepts will be developed through a variety of instructional methods. They include:

1. Assigned class readings from course text.

2. Instructor led class discussions.

3. Informational/instructional Videos
