Pipe welding layout procedures and arc welding of basic pipe joints are covered. Prerequisite: WE 114 WE 191-296 (A-Z) Special Topic Special topics are offered occasionally and the selection is different every semester. Special Topic courses do not repeat material presented by regular semester courses. The purpose of special topics is to provide students with new, one-time, and developing courses. The specific topic is announced each semester. WE 214 Inert Gas Welding 4 Credit Hours Students are required to practice inert gas welding processes on aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel with Metal Inert Gas (MIG), which is also called Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) which is also called Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Prerequisite: WE 114 WE 223N Non-Destructive Testing 3 Credit Hours This course includes information on nomenclature, testing processes, equipment, and materials used in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Procedures include visual, ultrasound, dye-penetrate, and magnetic particle testing on ferrous and nonferrous material. Explanations of radiographic (x-ray), hydrostatic, and pneumatic processes are included. Prerequisite or Corequisite: WE 114 WE 223P Pipe Welding 3 Credit Hours This course includes shielded metal-arc welding in the horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Industrial pipe layout and fabrication and arc welding of basic pipe joints are covered. Students will practice cutting with a plasma cutting torch and welding in different positions from IG through 6G. Prerequisite: WE 114 WE 224 Advanced Theory & Practice 4 Credit Hours This class is the capstone course for the NMJC welding program. Students are required to design and construct projects using several approved welding process to demonstrate the ability to analyze welding problems and to make decisions that use the most economical and practical welding process for the given task. This course concentrates on the advanced study of materials and methods, including joint work, adhering to specifications, fabrication of equipment, and completion of special projects. Prerequisite: WE 114 WE 224A Advanced Welding Fabrication & Project 4 Credit Hours This course is designed to give advanced practice in individual project development, layout, and fabrication. The course may be repeated for credit, but may only be counted once by degree-seeking students. Prerequisites: WE 114 WE 243C Industrial Codes & Standards 3 Credit Hours This course includes various codes and standards that are used in welding and fabrication. API is the standard for all pipe used by companies in the oil industry. ASME coding includes the use of vessels, pressure, and structural needs for the power plants, nuclear plants, and water power dams. AWS includes D-11, the standards forstructural welding. Prerequisites: WE 114 WE 244 Welding Cooperative Work Experience 4 Credit Hours The welding co-operative work experience is designed to offer an internship within the industry setting for welding. Students will work under the supervision of an approved professional / specialist in the welding field. A member of the New Mexico Junior College faculty will act as coordinator between and company, and will monitor the internship. A minimum of 180 work hours on the job site is required for successful completion of the course during the semester or the work period. Prerequisite: WE 124 and the consent of the instructor and the company.
