Welding, machining, and manufacturing technologyAfter completing the Welding and Manufacturing Technology program at WACC, students will have a seamless transition into the Multicraft Technology program at SVCC. WACC and SVCC continue to partner with each other to increase the dual credit opportunities in the Multicraft Technology program.
Prerequisites: Welding II students will be required to participate in an internship four days per week during second semester. Therefore, students that enroll in Welding II must be able to transport him or herself to various internship sites.
|
Recommended Student Criteria: Students enrolled in Welding and Manufacturing Technology will be required to work in a machine/welding shop approximately 75% of the time while at WACC. Students must be able to work in the confines of a welding booth (3’x 4’), have the ability to lift 40 pounds, must be able to stand for an hour and forty-five minutes, and must have the strength and mobility to operate machines such as lathes, grinders, and welding torches.

One or two year program offered to junior and senior students. Welding, machining, and CAD principles will be taught through hands-on experiences. Topics include:
-Welding processes – (Stick, Oxyacetylene, Mig, Tig, Plasma cutting, and OAW cutting), -Machine operations – (Lathes, Mills, Grinders, Shear, Pipe cutters, etc.) -AutoCAD – Computer aided drafting program -Blueprint reading |
|
The second year will provide the students with the opportunity to obtain advanced training on components of welding and metal fabrication which include:.
-Welding processes – (Structural welds, Pipe welds, Flux cored welding) -Machine operations – (CNC and manual Machining) -Programming - (Set up and operation of the CNC Plasma Table) -Inventor – Computer aided drafting program -Product design and development -Internship opportunity at a manufacturing site |
