Course Description: This is the second portion of a two sequence series. Upon completion of WLD101 and WLD102 students will receive equivalent credit to WLD111.WLD111is the first of six sequential courses in industrial welding technology. WLD102 covers the fundamentals of welding required by the metal fabrication industry. Students will be introduced to the fundamental principles of electric and gas welding and cutting. Specifically focusing on low hydrogen electrodes. The course lays the groundwork for student success in their pursuit of an AWS welding certification.
Intended Course Outcomes, ISLO (Institutional Student Learning Outcomes) Indicators and Assessment: On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
