Applied Welding Technology
Mission:
Our mission is to provide the necessary technical skills, knowledge, and
attitudes to prepare the students for employment and to provide advanced
training in a variety of occupations in the welding industry.
Description:
The training includes, but is not limited to use of blueprints and/or shop
drawings, use of gases and/or welding processes according to diagram, blueprints
or written specifications. Shop or laboratory activities are an integral
part of this program and provide instruction in various processes and techniques
of welding and fabrication skills. Laboratory activities also include
oxacetylene welding, brazing, and cutting (OAW) Arc Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding
(GMAW), Flux Cored Welding (FCAW), TIG welding (GTAW), Pipe welding and
certification test preparation per current industry standards, practices and
techniques. This program includes training in communications, leadership,
human relations, and safe and efficient work practices. See the program
instructor for location of media resources for the program. Media
inventory lists are located in the Official MFT Program Notebook.
Student club activities may be an integral part of student learning in
this program.
Unique Requirements:
Certification in various welding processes is optional but enhances a
student's employability. The State of Florida requires students to meet a basic
skills requirement prior to program completion. The basic skills grade levels
for this program are:
Mathematics 9.0, Language 9.0, Reading 9.0.
Completion time depends on the progress of the individual. The typical
length of this program for the average achieving student is 1170 hours.
Completion Levels:
- Welder Helper
- Welder, Shielded Metal ARC
- Welder, Gas Metal ARC
- Welder, Flux Cored ARC
- Welder, Gas Tungsten ARC
- Welder, Pipe
