Program of Study

The Welding Technology Program offers instruction in a wide range of topics, from basic oxyacetylene processes to advanced courses in pipe welding and welding inspection.

With the increased use of sophisticated welding equipment and exotic alloys, a need exists for technicians who can coordinate the efforts of the highly skilled welder and the welding engineer. The person performing this function must be broadly educated in basic welding theory, welding processes, basic mathematics and science. Terra's associate degree program is structured to provide this background.

A modern well-equipped laboratory supports all theoretical instruction with hands-on instruction in modern welding processes.

The faculty has identified the following Learning Outcomes for all graduates:

• Be able to prepare cost estimates for specific projects.

• Utilize drawing and print skills and knowledge to depict projects in orthographic and/or isometric projection with proper detailing and dimensioning.

• Correctly apply and/or interpret welding symbols on prints.

• Demonstrate correct usage of print details, dimensions, specifications, and welding symbols in designing projects.

• Select proper welding processes, equipment and accessories, and follow appropriate welding procedures required to manufacture or fabricate projects.

• Demonstrate the ability to utilize the appropriate welding processes in accordance with the industrial codes, standards, and specifications that apply to specific jobs.

• Be able to estimate project cost, compare it to the actual cost and make recommendations for improvement.
