Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Certificate

Additional information available on the Welding Department website.

This Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) 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 GMAW (mig) 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 plate with the GMAW process.

Program Learning Outcomes

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

• Identify and adjust welding parameters based on metal thickness
• Produce a single V-groove Gas Metal Arc Weld (GMAW) in various positions on carbon steel in accordance with AWS D1.1 structural steel code
