As a Welding graduate, you can build and repair metal components using major welding processes used by industry. You have knowledge of blueprints, metallurgy and layout, and can weld to AWS and ASME codes. Typical careers include maintenance welders, qualified welders, structural welders, welder/fabricators and pipe welders. Other career opportunities include construction trades welder, ironworker trades welder, millwright, sheet metal trades welder, and pipe trades welder.

Program Outcomes:

• Be successfully employed in the welding industry. • Perform procedures using plasma, carbon arc, oxyacetylene processes. • Perform procedures using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process (S.M.A.W). • Perform procedures using the Gas Metal Arc Welding process (G.M.A.W). • Perform procedures using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process (G.T.A.W). • Perform procedures using the Flux Core Arc Welding process (F.C.A.W). • Perform procedures using the Submerged Arc Welding process (S.A.W). • Perform welding procedures using the Metal Core process. • Interpret mechanical drawings. • Fabricate projects from blueprints and sketches. • Perform basic mathematical computations. • Identify various ferrous and non-ferrous materials. • Communicate with co-workers and supervisors.
