WELDING INDEPENDENT STUDY |
1.0 to 3.0 Units |
WELD 49 provides independent exploration to familiarize students with research techniques, career options, and special academic interests in‚ welding. Emphasis shall be on individual research projects, library research, and/or preparation of research papers. There is no prescribed course content. Students develop and complete a research project approved by the sponsoring instructor and division chairperson. Note: Registration is open to any student at GCC who is currently registered for six or more units and who is admitted to Independent Study by the instructor. A student is limited to one Independent Study per semester and no more than 12 units credit toward the AA Degree or Certificate, and no more than six units per division. The units received may be acceptable for college transfer subject to the approval of the individual college. This course may be taken 3 times; a maximum of 9 units may be earned. Laboratory 3-9 hours. Corequisite: Concurrent registration in 6 or more units. Transfer Credit: CSU |
