Overview
Program Coordinator: Donald Sanders – donaldsanders4@cltcc.edu
Program Description
The purpose of the Welding Program is to prepare individuals for employment in the field of welding. Instruction is provided in various processes and techniques of welding including oxy-fuel cutting, carbon arc cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, gas metal arc welding, pipe-welding, plasma arc cutting, blueprint reading, weld symbols, and joints. After completion of this program, the student will have covered the skills designated by the AWS (American Welding Society) and will be prepared to take the AWS Entry Level Welder test.
Required Courses
The following program course listings and exit points are non-sequential and delivered depending on industry need and student selection. Courses are required to be taken only once if successfully completed to satisfy exit credentials. The student advisor will assist in proper course sequencing to obtain exit credentials. Additional industry specific courses can be developed as needed.
Required Electives
To meet the requirements to earn a diploma, students must complete the program core and select an additional minimum of 16 credits from ANY of the courses listed as "Required Electives."
Student Learning Outcomes
- Identify and describe welding safety practices related to specific hazards or environments.
- Explain how to perform various oxyfuel cutting procedures.
- Describe how to set up, safely operate, and care for plasma arc cutting equipment.
- Describe the technique required to produce various open V-groove welds.
