About
The Welding Technology program offers specialized welding and fabrication instruction through theoretical, practical and technical learning objectives and strategies. The core curriculum specializes in welding and fabrication and delves into the expanses of welding technology as a whole. Students are first introduced to welding, cutting and fabrication safety; theory and fundamentals; and then transition to more advanced welding and fabrication processes and application, such as weld quality, inspection testing and repair techniques and automated welding and cutting systems and operations. Students who successfully complete this program will have learned a diverse skillset giving them opportunities to enter the workforce as entry-level welders, fabricators, field technicians and positions them for higher learning in welding engineering, welding education or materials science.
Basic certificate: This certificate introduces students to safe welding and cutting practices and principles including:
- proper technique and position,
- weld quality requirements,
- destructive and non-destructive testing and examination methods,
- print reading and interpretation of welding symbols, and
- basic metal fabrication.
Advanced cert: This advanced certificate program combines welding fundamentals with more complex welding, cutting and fabrication techniques and applications aimed to further develop one’s skills and core competencies. Students will:
- focus on welding using processes and positions common in industry,
- perform destructive and non-destructive testing,
- identify weld failures and perform root cause analysis
- execute repair techniques,
- perform advanced fabrication techniques and
- execute automated welding and cutting programming and operations.
