Course Descriptions


General Information

College-level prerequisites: Enrollment in most college-level courses requires qualifying test scores or completion of corequisite learning support coursework. See Mandatory Placement of Degree Admission Students  for more information regarding admission to college-level courses.

Tennessee Board of Regents designations: Courses denoted with the ♦ symbol are General Education courses transferable within the Tennessee Board of Regents system. Every TBR institution incorporates a common 41-hour General Education core into its degree requirements and accepts all courses designated with the ♦ symbol as meeting these requirements. A complete matrix of courses that satisfy General Education requirements at all TBR institutions is available on the TBR webpage.

University of Tennessee designations: Courses denoted with the ★ symbol are Pellissippi State courses that receive direct course equivalency at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Courses

 

Welding

  
  • WELD 1382 - Pattern Development

    Credit(s): 3
    This course emphasizes the practical applications of pattern development focusing on construction of basic forms using parallel line, radial line and triangulation pattern development techniques. Topics include introduction to tools of the trade, CAD drafting software, geometric construction and bend allowance computations.

    Corequisite(s): MATH 1050  

  
  • WELD 1383 - Welding Symbology & Blueprint Reading

    Credit(s): 3
    The course is designed to enhance the student’s ability to visualize prints, understand geometric construction, sketch, compute tolerances and interpret the meanings of welding symbols.

    Previously WELD 1210
  
  • WELD 2120 - Pipe Welding

    Credit(s): 3
    Course prepares students for pipe joint welding within the ASME, API, TRA and AWS specifications.  Students use E6010 and E7018 electrodes and pass the visual and guided bend test in the 2G, 5G and 6G positions. Evidence of advanced skill development in SMAW, GTAW, pipe-welding is expected.  Oxy-fuel cutting of ferrous metals is required.

    Prerequisite(s): WELD 2320  and WELD 2371  and WELD 2372 

    Corequisite(s): WELD 2330  

  
  • WELD 2320 - Welding Practicum II

    Credit(s): 4
    A projects-based course in which students and instructor identify a research design project to be pursued by the students.  Students work individually or collaboratively as a team member to plan, design, fabricate and weld metals, and to produce actual, realistic projects.

    Prerequisite(s): WELD 1300  and WELD 2370 

    Corequisite(s): WELD 2371  and WELD 2372  

  
  • WELD 2330 - Welding Practicum III

    Credit(s): 4
    A projects-based course in which students and instructor identify a research design project to be pursued by the students.  Students work individually or collaboratively as a team member to plan, design, fabricate and weld metals, and to produce actual, realistic projects.

    Prerequisite(s): WELD 2320  and WELD 2371  and WELD 2372

    This course provides an introduction to the mechanical testing of metals for strength, hardness and mechanical properties, students process and examine metallographic specimens and identify material microscopically; apply hardness and tensile tests and interpret results; demonstrate an understanding of metals and their crystalline structure; and recognize the effects of heat, rates of heating and cooling, as well as alloying elements on metals.

    Corequisite(s): MATH 1050  

    Previously WELD 1410

Women’s Studies

  
  • WGST 2050 - Introduction to Women/Gender Studies ♦ ★

    Credit(s): 3
    An interdisciplinary analysis of women’s roles and opportunities in the United States based on current research in the social sciences. Attention will also be given to the changes in women’s societal roles throughout history.

    ♦ This is a General Education  course transferable within the Tennessee Board of Regents system.
    ★ This course is directly equivalent to a course at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
