American Welding Society and multiple welding employers across the state of Iowa were consulted. We worked in partnership with AWS to develop our plans for the curriculum development. Employers across the state were surveyed about welding positions to ensure alignment to needs. Local colleges also consulted with employers in their regions to determine implementation of developed courses.

Abstract
Focuses on proper safety, equipment setup and cutting techniques for Plasma and Carbon steel Arc cutting on carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel, and aluminum. Students perform American Welding Society compliant cutting operations in the flat position. The student will also perform scarfing and gouging operations to remove base and weld metal in flat and horizontal positions. This course aligns to SENSE Level 1 Module 8 - Units 3 and 4, as well as Module 2 - Key Indicator 7 and Module 9 – Key Indicator 1.
