Welding

Design and Applied Technology Division www.elcamino.edu/academics/divisions/design-and-applied-technology/

The welding program prepares students for employment in the field and provides opportunities for currently employed personnel to upgrade their skills. By completing the degree or certificate requirements, students gain proficiency in oxy-acetylene cutting, plasma arc cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored welding. Students develop skills in welding ferrous and non-ferrous alloys in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions and gain skills in layout, fabrication, reading engineering drawings and pipe welding. The program also provides training for students to prepare for AWS D1.1 certification. Competencies will be assessed regularly in accordance with criteria established by the American Welding Society (AWS), the American Petroleum Institute, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American National Standards Institute.

At least 50 percent of the major requirements for the Associate in Science degree must be completed at El Camino College.
