The Welding - Advanced CSC is no longer accepting students. Students interested in welding should see the following programs: Welding Fundamentals - MIG CSC (221-995-05) , Welding Fundamentals - TIG CSC (221-995-06) , Welding Fundamentals - Pipe Welding CSC (221-995-07) , and Welding Fundamentals - Stick CSC (221-995-04) .
PURPOSE: The program offers a career pathway that enables learners to continue their studies for advanced skills. Those who complete this certificate will be well prepared to fill the gap in industrial manufacturing between the welder/fitter-welder and the welding shop supervisor by being better prepared in structural and maintenance welding. Structural and pipe welders join and assemble components as part of the construction of buildings, vessels, structures, and stand-alone pipelines. They use a variety of welding processes and equipment, in a wide range of industrial and commercial environments.
OCCUPATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Opportunities for graduates include shop supervisor, weld inspector, onsite welder, fitter/welder, pipe welder, and advanced structural welder.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Learning outcomes, as identified on the curriculum map, address the needs of employees and employers and, where applicable, meet the requirements of professional/accrediting organizations. Documentation may include student and faculty satisfaction surveys, employment\ndata, GFU surveys, professional/accreditation standards alignment, and feedback from advisory committee members, where available.
- Curricular students are actually acquiring the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that characterize\nsuccessful graduates.
- Improve instructional and operational outcomes through enhanced planning and accountability.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: General college curricular admission
PROGRAM NOTES: Students should possess the competencies obtained by completion of WEL 120 - Introduction to Welding , WEL 160 - Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG and FCAW) , and WEL 164 - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) , or may petition for program head approval to enroll in the program.
