Outcomes

Demonstrate safe work habits in the operation of welding, cutting and fabrication.

Formulate welding symbols and effectively demonstrate their use.

Explain Basic metallurgy concepts and identify metals and weld methods used in industry.

Evaluate proper methods required for strong welds and accurate cuts.

Identify the appropriate equipment required in a fabrication setting.

Explain the proper setup and use of gases for the various types of welds.

Identify the proper procedure for preparing, welding & destructively testing a completed weld coupon per the AWS code.​

Program Overview

The Welding curriculum is designed to provide the student with fundamental theory in the technology of welding processes, metallurgy, and fabrication design. He or she will develop practical skills in drafting, tungsten, and inert gas welding, metal inert gas welding, stick electrode welding, oxyacetylene welding, oxyacetylene cutting and oxyacetylene brazing. Students will be required to furnish personal protective equipment and tools. Welding Technology graduates are generally prepared to enter welding programs at selected colleges and universities with junior status.

Additional Program Information

A transfer agreement with at least one four-year college or university exists for this A.A.S. program. Students should consult an advisor for more information.
