Welding Certificate - Advanced

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

1. Students will apply safe working methods while following written and verbal instruction to complete basic fabrication and welding tasks assigned.
2. Students will compose, demonstrate, and perform fillet and v-groove welds in all positions on plain carbon steel pipe using a variety of welding processes.
3. Students will safely plan, demonstrate and perform fillet and v-groove welds in all positions on plate using GMAW and GTAW processes.
4. Students will compose, demonstrate, and perform v-groove welds in all positions on various size carbon steel pipe to ASME B.31 and API 1104 weld codes using SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW processes
5. Students will interpret, create and apply Sketches, drawings and weld symbols to Fabricate parts

Students taking the Advanced Welding Certificate in addition to completing the General Certificate will also perform bend tests to API 1104 and ASME b31 Codes in the 1GR, 2G, 5G and 6G up and down hill positions and will master the principles, knowledge, and skills required to begin a career in the field of welding. Students will also perform live work in the shop using blueprints and advanced metal fabrication techniques.

Note:  All students must follow WELD course semester sequences and all students must pass each class with a grade of ‘C’ or higher to move to the next sequence of courses.

• Students may take WELD 1120 and or all four courses: WELD 1130, WELD 1132, WELD 1140, and WELD 2140 together.
• WELD 1310 AND WELD 1229 may be taken out of sequence with instructor approval
