Welding and Fabrication Technology with Pipe

The Welding and Fabrication Technology with Pipe program prepares students for entry level welder positions. Students begin with fundamental skills in welding and cutting before advancing to more complex techniques using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW/TIG). Training includes welding plate and pipe in multiple positions, as well as metal cutting and preparation using oxyfuel cutting (OFC), plasma arc cutting (PAC), and air carbon arc cutting (CAC-A). Upon successful completion, graduates should have the knowledge and skills to qualify as entry-level welders using standard industry processes. In addition to technical training, students develop professional behaviors that align with employer expectations, ensuring they are prepared for success in the workforce. Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments in each course. In addition to the technical training, a critical aspect of a Lincoln education is developing the professional skills that are required by our employers. Students will need to demonstrate skill proficiency through a series of professional development activities and seminars which are integrated into each course. The modules include: Student Success, Financial Literacy, Professional Development, and Career Success.
