Welding Technology
is an associate degree or certificate program that combines practical, theoretical
and technical training in welding fabrication. Manual, semiautomatic
and automatic processes using oxy fuel and arc welding processes
in SMAW, GMAW, GTAW and plasma are covered. Advanced courses
deal with application of welding codes to develop the expertise
needed to understand specifications used in industry. Training
is done on both structural and piping materials in mild steel,
stainless and aluminum alloys. Program graduates typically find
employment as welding technicians, robotic welding technicians,
and technical sales reps. As such, they are responsible for one
or more of the following: welding metal alloys; fabricating metals
to specifications; troubleshooting faulty weldments; writing
procedures; interpreting conventional and computer-aided prints;
and selling and servicing equipment. |
