Metal Fabrication Technology - Johnson County Community College

Metal Fabrication Technology from Johnson County Community College is a Campus Associate Metallurgical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The welding technology/metal fabrication is a safety-oriented program that provides students the opportunity to learn practical knowledge and skill competencies associated with welding, metal fabrication and related processes. The JCCC welding technology/metal fabrication curriculum is designed to prepare students for various phases and levels of occupational skills. The program also offers currently employed professional welders the opportunity to upgrade their skills by taking advanced welding courses. Day and evening classes are available. Opportunities for those who wish to become welders, cutters and machine operators should be good through the year 2015. The number of qualified (certified) welders graduating from technical schools and community colleges is expected to be in balance with the number of future job openings. Welding technology/metal fabrication offers the service of five welding instructors and two machine tool instructors. Three are American Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) for the inspection and testing of welds. JCCC welding technology professors can customize welding and machine programs to provide course materials utilizing many processes, materials or welding positions that can meet a particular company's needs. JCCC provides well-equipped laboratories that enable students to receive instruction in blueprint and symbol reading for welders. The welding technology program consists of individual welding processes that allow students time to master each. After students master the Introduction to Welding course, other welding processes can be selected to meet individual needs. They are oxyacetylene welding (OAW) and cutting (OFC), plasma arc cutting (PAC), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), metallurgy and allied processes. Basic machining includes hands-on training with milling machines, turning lathes, surface grinders, band saws and the use of hand tools. The program is accredited as an American Welding Society Participating Organization in the Training and Testing of Entry Level Welders and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). Eligible students may elect to test under AWS QC10 certification guidelines and, if successful, be listed in the AWS National Registry of Entry Level Welders and/or the NCCER National Registry for Construction Workers.
