Students will learn shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

Students will learn how to conduct a job search, maintain proper work documentation and communicate effectively on the job. Students will also study industrial practices in areas such as:
  • Metallurgy (chemical processes)
  • Safety
  • Blueprints and construction documents
  • Layout and fabrication
  • Trade calculations
  • Welding theory
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of Health and Safety Legislation, Lockout procedures, Hazard control, body issues and WHMIS related information.
  • Interpret and produce basic graphics and other standard technical documents to industry standards.
  • Identify and select methods appropriate for fabrication from engineering drawings.
  • Perform basic technical measurements using appropriate tools.
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of the fundamentals of the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process and the characteristics of the modes of metal transfers.
  • Complete all work in compliance with practices and procedures typical of industry to ensure safety of self and others.
  • Set up equipment for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) applications and perform these in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions.
