Applied Welding is a hands-on course designed to equip students with practical skills and foundational knowledge in various welding techniques commonly used in industry, such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Emphasizing safety protocols and proper equipment usage, the course covers topics including material preparation, joint design, electrode selection, and weld inspection. Through laboratory exercises and real-world projects, students gain direct experience in interpreting welding symbols, following technical drawings, and producing structurally sound welds, preparing them for entry-level positions or further specialized study in welding and fabrication.
