COMP1017 Computer Applications

Students are introduced to Microsoft applications such as Outlook (email),

PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Excel. Students learn how to use the Internet
and understand the use of a maintenance management system. Within the
course, students are equipped with job searching techniques, interview skills
and will prepare a cover letter and rsum.

WELD1002 Layout & Fitting 1

Students focus on the use and application of equipment, tools, fasteners and
processes used in fabrication practices in the welding industry. Students will
interpret plans for the actual fabrication of small projects. Students will
develop techniques for layout, fitting, squaring, tacking and fabricating.

SAFE1003 Occupational Health & Safety

Students learn the rights and responsibilities of the various stakeholders

under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Specific topics
associated with the four main types of hazards found in workplaces (physical,
biological, ergonomic and chemical) are covered. Where possible and
practical, in addition to theory-based classes, students are involved in
practical hands-on activities. WHMIS legislation is also introduced.

MATH1027 Technical Math 1 (WELT)

In this course, students demonstrate basic analytical skills and they are
prepared for further studies in mathematics. Topics include basic number
systems and operations, units and measurement, basic algebraic operations,
geometry and solving word problems.

WELD1000 Welding 1

This course focuses on the various fabrication processes. Oxyacetylene

welding, brazing, cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (S.M.A.W.), Gas Metal
Arc Welding (G.M.A.W.) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (G.T.A.W.) in the flat and
horizontal positions and includes the safety procedures and the electrode
identification will be studied.

WELD1001 Welding Theory 1

Students learn an introduction to the theory and practice of welding,

providing a strong background in the various fabrication processes. The
course will cover oxyacetylene welding, brazing, cutting, G.M.A.W. (Gas Metal
Arc Welding) and S.M.A.W. (Shielded Metal Arc Welding).

WELD1005 Layout & Fitting 2

Students learn the advanced interpretation of drawing and symbols for the
actual fabrication of large projects. Techniques for layout, fitting, squaring,
tacking, welding and fabricating will be practised.
Prerequisite: WELD1002

WELD1006 Metallurgy 1

This course focuses on studying different metals and how they react to
welding, distortion and stress. Students examine types of steel and the
proper welding methods and electrode filler metals to be used. Different
destructive and non-destructive testing will be performed along with an
introduction to welding inspection.

MATH1028 Technical Math 2 (WELT)

Students consolidate the skills in arithmetic, algebra, solving equations,

trigonometry and graphical analysis to solve problems used in technological
applications.
Prerequisite: MATH1027 or MATH1026

WELD1003 Welding 2

Students learn Shielded Metal Arc Welding (S.M.A.W.), Gas Metal Arc Welding
(G.M.A.W.) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (G.T.A.W.) in the vertical and
overhead positions. Students also learn different fitting techniques and will
gain the skills and knowledge necessary to prepare them for the Canadian
Welding Bureau Certification at the end of the second semester. Full-size
robot welders and instruction on programming and manipulation associated
with robotics will be introduced.
Prerequisite: WELD1000

WELD1004 Welding Theory 2

Students are introduced to Flux-Cored Arc Welding and Metal-Cored Arc

Welding, Shielded Metal Arc Welding of groove welded joints, robotics,
automation, and production welding processes. Classification of weld faults,
weldability of alloys, and welding codes and standards are explored. Students
participate in the discussion and calculation of structural steel cutting
processes.
Prerequisite: WELD1001
