Welding Technology

Welding Technology 1 Course Description | Welding Technology 2 Course Description

 

The Welding Technology program is for the individual who wishes to pursue an occupation involved with welding and the fabrication of devices and structures with metal.  You will receive instruction on how to safely operate a wide array of technical equipment required to succeed as an entry-level welder.

The focus of this program is directed at production, fabrication, repair and home-type objectives.

In order to be successful in this program students should be able to:  perform basic math functions, using fractions and decimals, solve word problems, have basic measuring skills (linear, weight, temperature), write legibly.

• You will become skilled in:

  • Flame cutting

  • Gas welding

  • Brazing

  • Plasma cutting

  • Arc welding

  • MIG welding

  • TIG welding

  • Fabrication of metals

Course description:

 

771      WELDING TECHNOLOGY 1 (double period)
This full-year (2 credit) course is the first half of a 2-year program and is designed for anyone who wishes to learn welding and metal fabrication. Students are instructed in the safe operation of all tools, material handling and techniques used in welding. Areas of instruction include flame cutting, brazing, gas welding, arc welding, and metal-fabrication. 

 

NOTE: Registration through the CTE Office is required.

772      WELDING TECHNOLOGY 2 (double period)
This full-year (2 credit) course is the second half of a 2-year program and intensifies, follows through, and elaborates on material covered in Welding Technology 1. Emphasis will be on entry-level job proficiency with gas welding, soldering, cutting skills with ferrous and non-ferrous materials, shielded electrode arc welding equipment, metal fabrication and power tools, metal inert gas (MIG) welding, and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Modern welding techniques developed for aluminum and steel alloys will be skill options available to students. Focus will be on production, fabrication and repair skills rather than home-type objectives.

PREREQUISITE: Successful completion of Welding Technology 1 (771) and permission from the CTE Director.
