Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) NC I courses are introductory, competency-based programs that equip students with foundational knowledge and skills in SMAW, focusing on safety, basic welding techniques, and interpreting technical drawings.
- Weld Carbon Steel Plates Using SMAW: This is the core skill taught in the course, focusing on performing basic welds on carbon steel plates.
- Apply Safety Practices: Students learn to identify and mitigate potential hazards, understand personal protective equipment (PPE), and adhere to industry safety standards.
- Interpret Drawings and Sketches: Students learn to read and understand technical drawings and sketches related to welding.
- Perform Industry Calculations: Students gain proficiency in industry-specific calculations, including material estimations, electrode consumption, and weld size calculations.
- Use Hand Tools: Students learn to use hand tools that are used in the welding process.
- Prepare Weld Materials: Students learn how to prepare weld materials for welding.
- Set up Welding Equipment: Students learn how to set up welding equipment for welding.
- Fit up Weld Materials: Students learn how to fit up weld materials for welding.
- Repair Welds: Students learn how to repair welds.
