Program Purpose: Graduates will demonstrate (1) basic knowledge in welding
that will prepare them to obtain an entry-level position within the field and
(2) competency in communication, critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and
technological applications.
Program Description: In industrial manufacturing, the practice of joining
and severing metals is a science and an art which requires combined knowledge
and skills in a variety of industrial/technical fields. The welding faculty offers
a selection of technology courses and programs that prepare the individual for
entry level in a welding career. The curriculum offers a variety of ways in which
students can realize their training and educational goals. Student needs are matched
with the appropriate sequence of course work within one of the following: specialized
single course, the certificate program, or the A.A.S. program. The content and
instruction within welding centers on the “traditional” welding processes
and practices of oxyacetylene welding and cutting, shielded metal arc (stick),
gas tungsten arc (Tig-Heliarc), gas metal arc (MIG), as well as the “non-traditional”
processes of plasma arc, resistance welding, fluxed core arc, submerged arc, and
electron beam. Participation in, and completion of, the different sequences of
instruction within the welding department prepares the individual for a rewarding
career in metal fabrication, maintenance, education, supervision, sales and service,
as well as many other opportunities associated with welding technology. To receive
an A.A.S. in welding, the student must complete the requirements for the American
Welding Society SENSE certification Entry Welder Level 1.
