Jonelle Rycroft
Welding is becoming an increasingly high-tech skill in which welders are being trained to operate robots and other automated systems that use powerful lasers, electron beams and explosives to bond metal. With demand for skilled welders rising and the technology used in welding becoming more advanced, especially where automation and robotics are concerned, students have a unique opportunity to learn a career that can be shaped around their interests.
The Welding Technology program is designed for students interested in learning welding or upgrading their skills. Earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in welding or receive a certificate in welding and AWS Sense 1.
Students will learn shield metal arc (stick), gas tungsten (TIG), oxyacetylene (gas), gas metal arc (MIG) and plasma welding/cutting processes, using both manual and semi-automatic applications. Welding courses in welding theory and blueprint reading are also available. The Welding program is an individualized, competency-based program that benefits both novice and advanced welders.
The U.S. Department of Labor lists more than 75 occupational titles, including mechanics, machinists, plumbers, construction and maintenance workers, as well as sculptors and other artisans, that entail some form of welding-related activities.
The Associate in Applied Science in Welding Technology program provides students with the theory and practice in entry-level welding skills. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be prepared for the American Welding Society (AWS) examinations.
The Welding certificate program provides students with an individualized, competency-based method of instruction in the four most common methods of metal joining: shielded metal arc (stick), gas tungsten (TIG), oxyacetylene (gas), and gas metal arc. Additionally, both manual and semi-automatic plasma welding and cutting are included in various courses.
The AWS Sense 1 certificate program provides theory and practice in the preparation and welding of steel joints in various positions. It covers safety, electrode selection, inspection, and testing using shielded metal, gas tungsten, flux core, and gas metal arc welding. Skills are developed in producing different position butt and fillet welds. American Welding Society (AWS) testing is emphasized.
Academic and Career Pathways give you a roadmap to achieving your career goals. Follow a pathway based on your degree that outlines which classes you need to take and when so you graduate on time or move on to the next phase in your career.
Where You Can Transfer College of DuPage has several welding technology transfer agreements in place with four-year colleges and universities to save you time, money and make the transfer process easier.
Many of these agreements with other colleges and universities have specific course requirements and a pre-determined course plan that needs to be followed to be eligible to transfer. Contact a program faculty member or academic advisor to learn more as course requirements vary by institution.
A welder may also cut, contour and bevel metal plates and structural shapes into dimensions as specified by blueprints, work orders, and templates using torches, saws, shears, or other machine tools. Welding takes the skill and talent of an artist acquired through training and discipline.
