Fire prevention, confined spaces procedures, hot work procedures, material handling and general shop safety will be studied. An introduction to welder qualifications will be covered as well as joint configurations and welding terminology used in the field. Professional work traits expected in the welding field will be discussed. Prerequisites - None

CBAM115M - Electrical for Manufacturing Upon completing this course students will be able to explain the functions of basic electrical components found in the manufacturing environment. Students will also be able to build circuits from schematics, wiring diagrams, and work instructions. Students will be able to assess circuits using basic electrical measuring equipment to test circuit function, record data, and locate circuit failures. Students will also be able to define Ohm’s Law and circuit theory. Prerequisite: None

BUS210M - Business Communications Effective communication is the lifeblood of the organization and the foundation of a successful business career. The potential business professional must master the methods and techniques necessary to utilize facts, make inferences, understand communication strategies, create logical presentations, and develop critical skills in listening, speaking, and writing.
