Course Description

Welding Technology 2 is a capstone course in the Welding and Materials Joining pathway which builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in Welding Technology 1 and prepares students for entry-level jobs and post-secondary education in welding. This course provides structure and precision in welding of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, wire feeding, and advanced techniques in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Carbon Arc Cutting. In addition, students will continue to practice and demonstrate an exemplary understanding of workplace safety, blueprint reading, measurements, and quality welds that meet various industry standards and certifications. Hands-on, project and work based learning activities connect students to industry and the local community. Students must successfully complete Welding Technology 1 and Welding Technology 2 for pathway completion and/or articulation.
