Course Descriptions

WMT 3000: Welding Quality and Safety

Provides the basic knowledge of welding engineering as related to the inspection of welds. Includes an in-depth review of how various national, international structural and automotive welding standards relate to the quality of automatic, semi-automatic and manual welding processes.

WMT 3100: Engineering Alloys

A firm and thorough knowledge of engineering alloys is critical in developing an optimal design for a given application while minimizing the risk of material failure. This course examines the interrelationships between processing, structure, properties, and performance of various engineering metals such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals with an emphasis on welding.

WMT 3200: Thermodynamics of Welding and Metallurgy

The principles and application of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics to metallurgical systems and welding engineering processes. The fundamentals will be used to obtain a thorough understanding of the basic relationships of thermodynamic driving force for phase transformations in metal and alloy systems.

WMT 3451: Mechanical Metallurgy

The course will examine the strength, deformation, and failure of engineering materials from a first-principles materials science principles point of view. Established relationships between the mechanical behavior of materials and their microstructure as well as the control of mechanical behavior through materials processing and microstructural change will be studied.

WMT 3452: Physical Metallurgy

This course provides foundational knowledge of microstructural evolution during solidification, thermodynamics and phase transformation kinetics, alloy design, heat treatment, and the relationship between processing-microstructure-properties of metals and alloys.

WMT 4500: Failure Fracture Analysis

The scope of this course is to understand various types of failure modes in metals and alloys, contributing factors to failures and analytical and detection methods employed to identify and resolve failure issues.

WMT 4600: Metallurgy of Welding Processes

This course teaches the principles and applications of welding processes in addition to the standard fusion processes of shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc and flux-cored arc welding.

WMT 4700: Welding Design

Offers a practical understanding and application of the design process for projects in welding engineering. The engineering aspects of the production of welded structures from the perspective of program development, concept, design and metallurgy will be taught.

WMT 4800: Advanced Welding Metallurgy

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to become a welding professional. Both theoretical foundation on advanced welding metallurgy and hands-on practical training will be the focus of the course.

WMT 5350: Resistance Welding Processes

This course teaches the principles and applications of resistance welding processes including Resistance Spot, Seam, Projection Welding as well as Resistance Mash, Flash-Butt, High Frequency and Stud Welding processes.

WMT 5800: Welding Automation and Robotics

The scope of this course is to understand the concepts and technology associated with the operation of automatic and robotic welding systems. This course will incorporate automation and robotic technology with welding metallurgy.
