Welding II SMAW, GMAW (Locations: PIC, KW, NC, MW)

Students that have previously enrolled and successfully completed Welding Tech I and are enrolled in weldingII will gain experience in a series of advanced welding techniques in both Shielded Metal Arc Welding and Gas Metal Arc Welding Welded processes. Students will practice and complete weldments in the horizontal and vertical positions. Students will complete a guided bend test that will be visually inspected and bent according to industry standards to evaluate students’ welding ability. Additional areas of study include, oxyfuel welding and cutting, destructive and non-destructive testing, blueprint reading, fabrication methods, occupational exploration. Classroom instruction will include the AWS SENSE curriculum to ensure a viable and consistent curriculum. Other resources will also be introduced to meet curriculum requirements and standards. Students may be eligible to receive a SENSE completion certificate at the end of the course. The SENSE program shall NOT be confused with the AWS Certified welder certification program. Students may also have the opportunity to earn a completion certification and meet competencies in the NCCER (National Center for ConstructionEducation and Research) Level I and Level II Welding Curriculum
