Course Descriptions


General Information

Learning support prerequisites: Enrollment in most college-level courses requires qualifying test scores or completion of learning support coursework. To determine eligibility for college-level courses, students who have tested into learning support courses should check the advising chart on the following Web page: www.pstcc.edu/advising/resources/dsp/.

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 Web page, policies.tbr.edu/policies/general-education-requirements-and-degree-requirements.

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 1210 - Welding Blueprints

    Credit(s): 2
    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.

    Corequisite(s): MATH 1010  or MATH 1530  or MATH 1630  or MATH 1710  or MATH 1720  or MATH 1730  or MATH 1830  or MATH 1910  

  
  • WELD 1410 - Metallurgy & Materials Testing

    Credit(s): 4
    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.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 1010  or MATH 1530  or MATH 1630  or MATH 1710  or MATH 1720  or MATH 1730  or MATH 1830  or MATH 1910  

  
  • WELD 2010 - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW & FCAW)

    Credit(s): 3
    Course emphasizes the making of fillet and groove welds in all positions with the GMAW (MIG) and FCAW welding processes.

    Prerequisite(s): WELD 1070  and WELD 2310  

    Corequisite(s): WELD 2320  

  
  • WELD 2020 - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
