Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) Certificate

Additional information available on the Welding Department website.

This Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) certificate is designed to prepare students for work in a variety of settings using welding and fabrication. Students learn welding in all positions and on various joint configurations using the GTAW (tig) welding process on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Student also become familiar with basic metallurgy pertaining to the weldability of metals, structural joints, and safety in the welding industry. Additionally, students learn welding in all positions on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum plate and carbon steel pipe with the GTAW process.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) certificate program, students should be able to:

• Identify and adjust welding parameters based on applicable metallurgy on varying joint configurations
• Produce fillet and groove Gas Tungsten Arc Weld (GTAW) I various positions on different metals
