2016-2017 Catalog

Welding Technology (WEAAS)

Award: Associate in applied science degree

Program location: South Omaha Campus

This degree provides basic to advanced training in the major welding processes. Students completing the program are exposed to standard welding procedures used in construction and industry as well as established safety standards and measures. A fabrication project that requires students to use their welding skills, including the reading of welding blueprints, is required. Students graduating from the Welding Technology program earn the qualification/certification of their choice, which they can transfer from job to job.
