Welding Technology Level III

Program Year (2018-2019)

About the Program

This program enhances the abilities of the students preparing for a career in welding technology by giving them: SMAW-Open-Root Pipe Welds, GMAW-Pipe, FCAW-Pipe, GTAW-Carbon Steel Pipe, GTAW-Low Alloy and Stainless Steel Pipe, SMAW-Stainless Steel Plate and Pipe Groove Welds. Welding is a high-tech industry that can take you places all over the world. From ladders to aircraft carriers, from NASCAR to national defense, and from the laboratory to sales and repair, the varied welding industry impacts virtually every industry. Technology is creating more uses for welding in the workplace. For example, new ways are being developed to bond dissimilar materials and non-metallic materials, such as plastics, composites, and new alloys. Also, advances in laser beam and electron beam welding, new fluxes,and other new technologies and techniques all point to an increasing need for highly trained and skilled workers. This certificate will be earned by the student through the completion of the second semester of welding course work for the Certificate of Achievement in Welding Technology.
