Learn safety with tools, fire protection, and other topics applicable to the welding trade.
Use a wire electrode and shielding gas to weld metal pieces together in all positions.
Safely set up and weld metal using continuously fed flux-cored wire in all positions.
Use a flux-coated electrode to weld two metal pieces together in all positions.
Use a tungsten electrode and inert gas to weld two metal pieces together in all positions.
Learn the proper operating techniques using plasma arc and oxyfuel cutting processes.
Fuse metal parts together using heat and tools, often in construction, manufacturing, or repair settings.
Transform raw materials into finished products or components by cutting, shaping, and assembling various parts.
Prepare metal surfaces for further processing or a final product appearance by grinding, sanding, polishing, and applying coatings.
Oversee and coordinate welding operations, ensuring projects are completed efficiently, safely, and to the required quality standards.
Responsible for both the technical aspects of welding and the overall management of the business.
In the Welding Technology certificate program, students receive hands-on instruction in safety, welding, and cutting on a variety of metals. Instruction includes basic Oxy Fuel Cutting (OFC), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and other thermal and mechanical cutting processes. Students also learn welding process-specific and welding shop safety practices, basic print reading, and the proper uses and applications of AWS welding symbols.
