Welding Technology - Advanced Pipe Welding, CD

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Welding Technology - Advanced Pipe Welding credit diploma builds upon the Welding Technology - Combination Welding credit diploma program of study and prepares students for work in the field of welding technology. In addition to gaining an overall understanding of welding machines, weld processes, and hands-on welding proficiency, students develop skills in the areas of print reading, welding symbols, weld inspection, destructive and non-destructive testing, along with precision machine tool operation. Students gain knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for welding qualification to code specification(s).

Completion of the Welding Technology - Combination Welding credit diploma is required for enrollment in the Welding Technology - Advanced Pipe Welding credit diploma courses.
