INDT 1073 - Welding for Maintenance Technicians 3 Credits
In this course, Industrial Technology students will gain the knowledge of basic welding and cutting processes applicable to Maintenance Technician duties. This course incorporates Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Flux Core Arc Welding, and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding as the welding processes; and the cutting processes of Plasma and Oxygen & Acetylene. This course provides Industrial Technology students the means to perform the auxiliary set up of and welding activities required to perform installation and minor repair duties on the job.
3 SCH (2 Hours Lecture, 3 Hours Lab)
