WEL3632 SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING/PIPE
3 Credit Hours
Student Level:
This course is open to students on the college level in either the freshman or sophomore year and to area high school vocational students.
Catalog Description:
WEL3632 - Shielded Metal Arc Welding/Pipe (3 hrs.)
This course offers the student an opportunity to gain the skills required to produce code quality welds on piping materials. These welds are expected to pass guided bend tests to detect flaws.
Course Classification:
Lab
Prerequisites:
WEL3613 Shielded Metal Arc Welding/Structural or equivalent.
Controlling Purpose:
Students in this course are expected to become proficient in the S.M.A.W. process on pipe.
Learner Outcomes:
Students in this course will be making code quality welds on a number of different diameters of pipe using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process. These welds are to be made in various positions with a variety of electrodes.

Attendance Policy:
Students should adhere to the attendance policy outlined by the instructor in the course syllabus.
Grading Policy:
The grading policy will be outlined by the instructor in the course syllabus.
Maximum class size:
Based on classroom occupancy.
Course Time Frame:
The U.S. Department of Education, Higher Learning Commission and the Kansas Board of Regents define credit hour and have specific regulations that the college must follow when developing, teaching and assessing the educational aspects of the college. A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour of credit or an equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. The number of semester hours of credit allowed for each distance education or blended hybrid courses shall be assigned by the college based on the amount of time needed to achieve the same course outcomes in a purely face-to-face format.
