CAM 1193 TIG (GAS Tungsten Arc Welding)
Designed to equip students with practical and theoretical welding expertise, this course emphasizes a strong foundation in lab safety and operational procedures. The curriculum delves into the interpretation and application of welding symbols, essential for professional fabrication. Students will receive thorough instruction in the GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) process, complemented by significant hands-on laboratory sessions to develop manipulative skills. This in-depth learning of GTAW will include the welding of specialized materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. Furthermore, the course covers critical supporting techniques such as various methods of metal cutting, brazing, and fundamental concepts of metal design to facilitate project execution and problem-solving. Two and a half classroom, three lab hours per week.
