Program Description
The Welding program prepares individuals for employment in the field of welding. Instruction is provided in various processes and techniques of welding including oxyfuel cutting, carbon arc cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, gas metal arc welding, plasma arc cutting, blueprint reading, weld symbols, and joints.
Program Goals
- Students will develop knowledge of safe work practices in the field of welding.
- Students will understand how to properly set up and use oxyfuel cutting and welding equipment.
- Students will produce welds able to meet visual acceptance criteria of power and process piping codes.
- Students will acquire the knowledge of dimensioning, piping symbols and template development.
- Students will understand how to calculate take offs, find angles and use squares and levels for fitting and tacking.
Program Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the Welding Program will be able to: (Effective for Cohorts Prior Fall 2021 and before)
- Demonstrate proficiency in safe use, set up, and troubleshooting of equipment and tools used in the welding industry.
- Demonstrate the ability to perform quality cuts using oxy-fuel cutting, plasma arc cutting, and or air carbon arc cutting processes.
- Demonstrate and apply skills necessary to perform quality fillet or groove welds in all positions using the following processes: SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW.
- Demonstrate the ability to interpret blueprints, welding symbols, and verbal orders to prepare for welding operations.
