Credits
5

Introduces the student to an intermediate level of fabrication techniques such as measurement instrumentation, metal preparation, welding, machines (drills, saws, grinders, mills and lathes), and metal benders. Emphasis is placed on the safe use of tooling, pre-planning, and fabrication of structurally sound projects.

INDT 137: Metal Fabrication III

Credits
3

Designed to introduce commonly used sheet metal fabrication techniques, including but not limited to: measuring, shearing, bending, lay-out, metal preparation, welding, machines (drills, saws, grinders, brakes, shears) and hand-held specialized sheet-metal tooling. Emphasis placed on the safe use of tooling, pre-planning, proper fitment and the fabrication of structurally sound projects.

WELD 131: Gas Welding

Credits
3
Fundamentals and experience in the operation of oxyacetylene welders and cutters in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions, and an introduction to aluminum and stainless steel welding and brazing using TIG welding machines.

WELD 132: Arc Welding

Credits
3
Fundamentals and experience in operation of AC and DC welders in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions using a variety of welding electrodes, including low-hydrogen rods. Introduction to MIG (Metallic Inert Gas) or GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) included.

WELD 134: Intermediate GTA Welding (TIG)

Credits
3
