WELDING
A welder is a skilled craftsman, contributing to America’s growth and world expansion. Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal. Because of its strength, welding is used to build and repair a myriad of products, from pipelines and power plants to ships and spacecraft. Job opportunities are on the rise as the demand for highly trained welders increases with industries throughout the world.
The main areas of focus are:
- Training in all phases of the welding industry
- Study properties of metals and principles of fusion
- Class projects provide opportunities for students to receive job-related experience and hands on learning
- Techniques for gas and arc welding, pipe welding and cutting, blueprint reading and the use of various metals
- Methods of welding include oxy-fuel, shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, flux core arc, gas tungsten arc, plasma arc, oxyacetylene, MIG, and TIG
- Layout, inspection, testing, safety, metal fabrication and industrial practices
Career Information
Skilled welding, soldering, and brazing workers generally plan work from drawings or specifications or use their knowledge of fluxes and base metals to analyze parts. These workers then select and set up welding equipment and examine welds, to ensure that they meet standards or specifications. Some welders have more limited duties. They perform routine jobs that already have been planned and do not require extensive knowledge of welding techniques. Automated welding is used in an increasing number of production processes. In these instances, a machine or robot performs the welding tasks while monitored by a welding machine operator. Welding, soldering, and brazing machine setters, operators, and tenders follow specified layouts, work orders, or blueprints. Operators must load parts correctly and constantly monitor the machine to ensure that it produces the desired bond.
Career and Educational Path
After completion of this program students may work as a welding specialist, and may continue their training and education for degrees in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and applied science-based degrees.
