Our welding technology covers basic and advanced welding in stick metal arc (SMAW), gas metal arc (GMAW), flux coil arc (FCAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Along with our welding courses, our department offers basic hand torch cutting, plasma cutting, track torch and carbon arc cutting.

This program is hands on and students will spend time both in the classroom and the welding shop.

More About the Program

The program prepares the graduate in the selection of the right equipment; selection of filler metals; pre, intermediate and post heat treatment of welded metals; and proper weld techniques. The program stresses industry-wide safety procedures and trains the student to read weld symbols and detail drawings. The student is presented with a general knowledge of many fields in welding thus allowing them to choose an area(s) to specialize in if they desire to do so.

Lastly, the Welding Technology program provides the student with a solid foundation which will enable them to enter into areas of the construction, engineering, manufacturing, heavy equipment repair, and plant maintenance and/or weld engineering if they should decide to continue their education.
