| Intro to College Math - 3 credits This is an introductory level course designed to review and develop fundamental concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and statistics. Emphasis will be placed on computational skills and applications of rational numbers; problem solving skills with ratios, proportions, and percent; basic principles and application of algebra, geometry, graphing, and statistics; measurement skills in U.S. Customary and Metric Systems; and the use of calculators as a tool. Prerequisite: Accuplacer Arithmetic score of 65 or equivalent or ASC Math Prep V 77854783 |
||
| Metals Science - 2 credits Students are introduced to the field of metallurgy. Includes the following topics: sources of common metals including both ferrous and non-ferrous methods of ore extraction and refining and classification of these metals and the alloy systems. The heat treatment of various metals and properties of metals are studied including lab work on shear, compression, tensile strength, and corrosion |
||
| Basic Welding I - 5 credits Introduces fundamental skills, eye-hand coordination, knowledge in SMAW (arc), oxyacetylene (gas), brazing and cutting processes. Typical operations include tee, lap, corner and butt joints in the flat position. Safety aspects of all welding operations are emphasized. Prerequisite: Admission to Welding Program 314421 |
||
| Basic Welding II - 5 credits Further skill development and knowledge in the SMAW (arc), oxyfuel (gas) and brazing processes. Arc welding includes a variety of electrodes and manipulations including whipping the E6010. Operations include tee, lap, corner and butt joints in the horizontal and vertical positions. Butt joints are welded both open and with backing strips similar to state certification requirements. Introduces fundamental skills, eye-hand coordination, knowledge in SMAW (arc), oxyacetylene (gas), brazing and cutting processes. Typical operations include tee, lap, corner and butt joints in the flat position. Safety aspects of all welding operations are emphasized. Prerequisite: Admission to Welding Program 314421 and Corequisite: Basic Welding I 31442301 |
||
| Occupational Communication - 2 credits Occupational Communication is designed to help a student develop communication skills needed for employment. Student will examine the communication process and learn to avoid communication breakdown. The course develops reading and information-finding skills, reviews using standard English usage in written messages, strengthens effective oral and written communication needed to apply for a job, builds effective listening skills and develops appropriate spoken messages and nonverbal communication. |
||
| Related Machine Shop - 3 credits Students are introduced to basic machine shop operations. Covers hand tools, semi-precision and precision measuring tools, layout work, sawing, grinding, drill press, and lathe operations. Laboratory assignments are completed to familiarize students with various types of equipment for practical application in their respective trades. |
||
| Blueprint Reading-Welding - 2 credits Introduces the use and reading of a blueprint, includes interpretation from orthographic projection; reviews the meaning of lines, dimensions, notes and symbols; covers the use of special views and assembly drawi |
||
| Advanced Welding I - 5 credits Advanced skills and knowledge in the SMAW (arc) oxyfuel (gas), brazing and soldering processes are developed in this course. Operations include the tee, lap and butt joints in the overhead position. GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (wire) processes are introduced in the flat position. Tee, lap, corner and butt joints are welded on aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel using the GTAW and GMAW processes. Prerequisite: Basic Welding II 31442305 |
||
| Advanced Welding II - 5 credits Advanced skills using the GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (wire) processes on various metals, in all positions, are developed. Oxyacetylene welding and brazing of cast iron, plasma cutting and other special materials and processes are introduced. Within the entire welding program, safety, welding codes and local industrial practices are emphasized. Corequisite: Advanced Welding I 31442302 |
||
| Applied Human Relations - 2 credits In an effort to better understand human behavior, students investigate topics designed to examine the challenges of coping with an ever-changing world of work and life. Students are given an opportunity to improve their understanding of themselves and others through discussion of topics such as dealing with stress, suicide, grief, defense mechanisms, perception, problem solving, nutrition and physical fitness, drug abuse, mental illness, self-concept and personality, emotions, attitudes, motivation, value clarification, work relationships and family life styles. |
