Catalog Description

The Welding Technology Associate in Applied Science degree program combines training with classes in the background knowledge needed by workers in welding occupations. Students practice and develop welding skills in the laboratory and may take an examination for certification. The program is for those who want to acquire the technical knowledge and skills required for workers in welding, fabrication, and related occupations. As a graduate of the Welding program, students may qualify for positions in business and industry such as machinery fabrication, structural fabrication, welding fitting and layout, automatic and semiautomatic welding, automatic flame cutter operation, millwright welding, plant maintenance, and quality control and development. The program offers students a background in manufacturing materials, processes, and systems, including shear and press brake operation, blueprint reading, and shop drawing and layout. The curriculum includes written and oral communications and general education classes and emphasizes related scientific, mathematical, and general mechanical principles.

Once the program has been completed, students should be able to:

Collaboration: Work cooperatively and contribute productively within varied group dynamics to achieve shared goals

Critical Thinking: Identify issues, define vital questions, and analyze evidence that leads to well-reasoned judgments and conclusions

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Assess conscious and subconscious biases, understand the root causes of societal inequities, and examine positions of power and privilege to help cultivate an inclusive, equitable, and antiracist society

Information Literacy: Find, analyze, summarize, and document information responsibly in order to support a hypothesis, thesis, or position

Oral Communication: Present orally or engage in dialogue that is appropriate to the given context in both delivery and style

Quantitative Reasoning: Understand numerical data, solve quantitative problems, and apply mathematical reasoning to various academic and everyday life situations

Sustainability: Identify the interconnected dimensions of social, economic, and environmental issues involved in creating a more just and sustainable future

Writing: Create various forms of written communication that appropriately attend to audience and purpose, and, when applicable, incorporate and respond to the ideas of others

This plan includes recommendations for students who plan to major in this subject at a four year school. Students who follow this plan will meet the requirements of a general transfer degree (A.A. or A.S). The CLC degree earned will be a general transfer degree, not a degree in this specific area of study.
