For people who have little or no welding experience, this class
teaches students how to correctly and safely use cutting
equipment, power tools, and welding equipment used in shielded
metal arc welding, commonly known as “stick welding”. Students
then spend extensive time in the welding shop working hands-on
to build and improve their welding skills. Students will learn
how to create multi-pass fillets with E6010 and E7018 electrodes
in all positions and on a variety of joint types. The certified
welding instructor will describe the characteristics of and
techniques used to create quality welds. Opportunities to learn
oxyacetylene welding are available upon request. Steel toed
boots, safety glasses, and welding gloves are required.
Welding II (Advanced Structural)
This course is designed to teach Welding I students
the skills necessary to earn American Welding
Society certification in structural arc welding
(please note the exam is not given at UTC). To
prepare students for certification tests, the class
offers 40 hours of hand-on training in the welding
shop under the guidance of a certified instructor.
Steel toed boots, safety glasses, and welding gloves
are required.
