Courses of Instruction
1773 GMAW (2) (O)
The study of gas metal arc welding (GMAW)
fundamentals and safety. It provides training to
develop the manual skills necessary to make high
quality welds in all positions on mild steel plates.
4 hours lab.
1780 GTAW - Plate (3) (O)
The study of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)
fundamentals and safety. It provides training to
develop the manual skills necessary to make high
quality GTAW welds in all positions on mild
steel, stainless steel and aluminum, using both
direct and alternating current.
6 hours lab.
2500 Structural Welding (5) (O)
This course provides training to develop the
welding skills necessary to produce high quality
groove welds with backing on 1" thick mild steel
plates in all positions using the shielded metal arc
welding and flux cored arc welding processes.
Weld testing will be based on the American
Welding Society Structural Welding Code D1.1.
1 hour lecture, 9 hours lab.
2510 Pipe Welding I (4) (O)
This course provides training to develop the
welding skills necessary to produce high quality
groove welds on open root steel pipe in the
2G, 5G, and 6G (45 degree fixed) positions
using E6010 and E7010 electrodes with
downhill travel. Weld testing will be based on
the American Petroleum Institute (API 1104)
pipeline welding practices.
1 hour lecture, 7 hours lab.
2520 Pipe Welding II (5) (O)
Shielded metal arc welding pipe (uphill)--the
student will gain technical knowledge of pipe
welding procedures and develop welding skills
necessary to make high quality welds on open
root mild steel pipe in the 2G, 5G, and 6G
positions using E6010 and E7018 electrodes.
Weld testing will be based on the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME 1X)
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
1 hour lecture, 8 hours lab.
2540 Pipe Layout and Fabrication (2) (O)
This course will provide the fundamentals of
Layout and Fabrication of a weldment consisting
of plate and typical pipe connections.
Prerequisite: MATH 1515 with a grade of "C" or
better.
1 hour lecture, 2 hours lab.
2670 Welding Inspection Technology (3) (Fa)
Students will study the theory of shielded metal
arc welding (SMAW), oxyacetylene welding
(OAW), cutting (OC), brazing (TB), and
destructive and nondestructive testing methods.
Attention will be given to the types of welds,
joints, filler rods, and electrodes used with metals
commonly joined by welding. Safety practices
will be included.
3 hours lecture.
2680 Welding Metallurgy (3) (Sp)
The study of gas metal arc welding (GMAW),
gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored
arc welding (FCAW), submerged arc welding
(SAW), air carbon arc cutting (AAC), and plasma
arc cutting (PAC) processes. Also the study
of procedure and welder qualifications, basic
welding metallurgy, metal identification, test
positions, destructive and nondestructive testing
methods, filler rods and electrodes, and various
welding codes commonly used for welding of
carbon and alloy steels, cast irons, and hardfacing
applications.
3 hours lecture.
Women's Studies (WMST)
Introduction to Women's Studies (3) (Fa)
Introducation to key issues in women's studies.
Topical examination of women's participation in,
and relationship to, institutions of society, such as
family and school, as well as processes and activi-
ties, such as work, art, literature and politics in
historical and cross-cultural analysis.
3 hours lecture.
Zoology (ZOO)
1500 Introduction to Human Anatomy and
Physiology (4) (Sp)
This lecture and laboratory course is an
introductory study of the structure and function
of the human body designed to meet the needs
of students preparing for some LPN programs,
medical office assistant programs, and some
Health and Physical Education majors. Credit
may NOT be earned for both ZOO 1500 and
ZOO 2015/2025, nor does this course prepare a
student to take ZOO 2025.
3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab.
