Engineering Technology/Welding Fabrication Certificate

Pathway:

Welding Fabrication

Certificate Type:

Basic

Curriculum Code:

ENT.WEL.CERT (C448Y)

Total Program Credits: 16

(formerly ENT/Welding Certificate)

The Engineering Technology/Welding Fabrication Certificate program provides students with welding skills in a shop setting. Students are taught welding processes, focused on Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. In addition, students learn to read and produce engineering blueprints, other fabrication processes needed for employability and metal layout/fabrication. Graduates find entry-level employment as welding fabricators, solderers, and braziers, as well apprentice-level industrial maintenance mechanics.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Engineering Technology/Welding Fabrication Certificate, the graduate will be able to:

1. Demonstrate shop safety practices.
2. Measure and cut metal metal to specifications from a  blueprint to fabricate products with Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded joints.
