Associate of Applied Science Degree
In the Welding Fabrication & Robotics Associate Degree program, learners program and operate CNC cutting and forming equipment as well as robotic welders, developing the skills needed to work in an advanced metal manufacturing environment. Learners also expand their print-reading skills through fabrication layout, fixturing and precision measurement. Welding metallurgy and machine shop principles are also studied. Critical thinking skills are built through problem-solving activities that foster teamwork, positive attitudes and an understanding of global competition.
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate industry recognized safety practices
- Form materials to detailed drawings
- Cut materials to detailed drawings
- Join materials to detailed drawings
- Layout components/assemblies
- Inspect product
