The Welding Technology AAS Program prepares students for work in the field of welding technology.  Building on the knowledge and skills gained in the Certificate program, students further develop their skills in the areas of print reading, welding symbols, weld inspection, destructive and non-destructive testing, and computer-aided design.  Students perform quality welds and cuts, evaluate welds to industry standards, operate metal fabricating equipment and apply communication skills in the work environment.  Students gain important knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for weld qualification to code specifications. 

Program Outcomes:

PO #1. Perform quality welds and cuts to industry standards 

PO #2. Apply principles of welding theory to welding practice 

PO #3. Demonstrate proper use of welding related terms
