including systems of measurement and industry standards.
Interpretation of plans and drawings used by industry.

Provides technical information and hands-on experience
in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions using
oxygen-fuel welding and cutting processes. Topics include
rod sizes, common flaws, types of welds, brazing operations,
and joint designs.

This course develops skills in gas metal arc welding (GMAW).
Students will learn applications, set-ups, operations, and
troubleshooting of these processes. Significant hands-on
practice is provided.

This course further develops skills in gas metal arc welding
(GMAW). Students will learn applications, set-ups, operations,
