WEL3633 GAS 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:
WEL3633 - Gas Metal Arc Welding/Pipe (3 hrs.)
This course is designed to offer students the opportunity to produce code quality welds on various diameters of pipe. These welds are to be produced using the gas metal arc welding process. Welds made with these procedures will be tested using the guided bend test to detect flaws.
Course Classification:
Lab
Prerequisites:
WEL3622 GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding/Structural) or equivalent.
Controlling Purpose:
Students in this class are expected to become proficient in welding pipe in a variety of positions using G.M.A.W.
Learner Outcomes:
Students in this course will be able to produce code quality welds using the Gas Metal Arc Welding Method on piping materials. These welds will be made in a variety of positions using the short circuit metal transfer and flux core methods.
Unit Outcomes for Criterion Based Evaluation:
The following outline defines the minimum core content not including the final examination period. Instructors may add other material as time allows.

- Demonstrate how to make G.M.A.W. pipe welds in the vertical fixed position.
UNIT 6: G.M.A.W. Pipe Welds in Horizontal Position
Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit, the students will be able to successfully weld pipe with G.M.A.W. in horizontal fixed position.
- Generate the criteria for making horizontal fixed position welds using G.M.A.W.
- Demonstrate how to correctly make horizontal G.M.A.W. pipe welds.
UNIT 7: G.M.A.W. Pipe Welds in 6G Position
Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit, the students will be able to successfully weld pipe with G.M.A.W. in 6G position up hill.
- Compare text procedures of 6G position and compare this with other positions.
- Demonstrate how to correctly make G.M.A.W. welds in the 6G position.
UNIT 8: Certification Requirements for G.M.A.W. Processes
Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit, the students will be able to successfully pass certification requirements for G.M.A.W. processes.
- Assess the certification requirements of G.M.A.W. pipe welding.
- Prepare a procedure qualification document for G.M.A.W. pipe welding

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.
