WELDING
Welding I Practice WELD 212 2.00
Prerequisite: WELD 211. May also be taken concurrently with 211.
The oxyfuel section will develop the student's manual skills necessary to produce high quality flame cuts using manual operated flame
cutting equipment and accessories. The student learns and practices the set up processes for the equipment for all phases of oxyfuel cutting.
The shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW) section develops entry-level skills for welders. This course specifically develops basic SMAW
skills as striking the arc, maintaining proper arc length, adjusting equipment and manipulating the electrode. WELD 212 is required
concurrently with WELD 211, but may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for up to six credits. This course may
not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
Welding II WELD 221 3.00
Prerequisite: WELD 101 or 212 or instructor approval. Corequisite: WELD 222.
This course is a continuation of Welding I and emphasizes SMAW vertical and overhead positions and machine oxyfuel gas cutting. In
addition, the course introduces GMAS (gas metal arc welding) and air carbon arc cutting.
Welding II Practice WELD 222 2.00
Prerequisite: WELD 221. May be taken concurrently with WELD 221.
This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to hone their skills in oxyfuel machine cutting, SMAW vertical and overhead
positions, GMAW basic skills and air carbon arc cutting processes. Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab
assignments. WELD 222 is required concurrently with WELD 221, but may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for
up to six credits. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of
Higher Education (NSHE).
Independent Study WELD 225 1.00 - 6.00
Prerequisite: None
This course is designed for the student who has a particular interest in welding and wants to concentrate in that area. This is a contractual
course. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher
Education (NSHE).
Welding III WELD 231 3.00
Prerequisite: WELD 222 or instructor approval. Corequisite: WELD 232.
This course is a continuation of Welding II and focuses on the GMAW and the FCAW processes. The Air Carbon Arc Cutting section will
further develop skills in the process. The student will develop skills required to make fillet and groove welds in all positions using GMAW
and FCAW processes. The student will be introduced to the Plasma Arc Cutting Process. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate
degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
Welding III Practice WELD 232 2.00
Prerequisite: WELD 231. May be taken concurrently with WELD 231.
This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to hone their skills in the GMAW and FCAW processes in all positions by
providing them with hands-on time and individual instruction. The learner will also practice Air Carbon Arc Cutting and Plasma Arc
Cutting on ferrous and nonferrous materials. Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab assignments. WELD 232 is
required concurrently with WELD 231, but may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for up to six credits. This
course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher Education
(NSHE).
Welding IV WELD 241 3.00
Prerequisite: WELD 222 or 232 or instructor approval. Corequisite: WELD 242
This course is a continuation of WELD 231 and places an emphasis on the GTAW process in all positions on ferrous and nonferrous
materials. This course also covers the advanced FCAW process and concentrates on the skills needed to pass the AWS certification test in
all positions using the FCAW process. The Student at this level of training may opt to develop skills in the welding of pipe using the
SMAW or FCAW processes. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities in the Nevada
System of Higher Education (NSHE).
Welding IV Practice WELD 242 2.00
Prerequisite: WELD 241. May be taken concurrently with WELD 241.
This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to work on their skills in the GTAW process, perfect their skills in the FCAW
process by providing them with individualized instruction and full hands-on practice in preparation and welding of ferrous and nonferrous
materials. At this point in training students may also start developing skills necessary to weld pipe using the SMAW or FCAW processes.
Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab assignments. WELD 242 is required concurrently with WELD 241, but
may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for up to six credits. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree
of art or science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
