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. |
