Technology — Welding Technology — Welding 044. Aircraft Sheet Metal Processes—This course applies the skills learned to do actual construction, such as assembly and repair of typical aircraft structures. (15 hrs./wk.) WELDING The Welding curriculum is designed for the student who wishes to major in welding. The various aspects of electric, oxyacetylene and inert processes are included. General service courses are offered for those in related areas who wish to become familiar with the principles of welding as applied to their respective fields: NOTE: Sophomore year will not be offered 1974-75. Certificates of proficiency will be issued on attainment of previously agreed upon skill levels. A pre-vocational curriculum in this area consisting of courses 030, 031, 032, and 033, is designed to train students for entry-level skills in welding and fabrication. Special emphasis is placed on certification in vertical-up and over-head arc welding. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 030. Oxyacetylene Processes—Beginning course for welding students.
