WEI 135 — I-CAR Welding
This course helps the student develop the basic knowledge and skillsnecessary to the understanding of welding through a primary focus onthe I-CAR weld training. Discussion focuses on developing anunderstanding of the different gas metal arc welding techniques,associated types of equipment and welding materials, and theappropriate selections of welding parameters as dictated by thematerials being joined. Lab activities provide practice in developing theskills needed to successfully complete the I-CAR steel G.M.A.W.certification test WCSO3. Safe handling of equipment and suppliesand overall shop safety are strongly emphasized. Prerequisite: WEI113 WEI 136 Gas Metal Arc Welding & Gas Tungsten Arc Welding3 credits / 2 class hrs / 2 lab hrs This is an introductory welding course that helps students develop abasic knowledge of the Gas Metal Arc Welding and the Gas TungstenArc Welding processes. An introduction to G.M.A.W. techniques andG.T.A.W. techniques is provided. Discussion of equipment andmaterials used is also provided. Lab activities provide practice indeveloping an understanding of the equipment, proper selection of thewelding process determined by materials being joined, and thedifferences in technique necessary for welding in different positions.Safe handling of welding equipment and supplies is stronglyemphasized as is overall shop safety.
