This program focuses on SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW welding for application in the industry. Training includes fillet welds and groove welds on plate, groove welds on pipe in all positions, and MIG welding and TIG welding. Students will undergo multiple welding qualification tests and have the opportunity to gain an AWS certification to AWS D1.1, the structural steel welding code, as well as two ASME Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel, one on SMAW welded pipe and the other on GTAW welded pipe.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion, students will be able to:

Demonstrate needed skills required for a Structural Plate certification test following proper procedures and meeting the requirements of the welding codes
Implement current GMAW welding technology in the work force
