Welding Engineering Technician (Inspection) - College Diploma
Northern’s Welding Engineering Technician – Inspection program is a deep dive into the science, technology and engineering of welding and places you at the top of your game. You’ll master everything from metallurgy to magnetic particle inspection; you’ll understand modes of metal transfer during welding, the mathematics of force calculations, and the minimum requirements of welding codes. And – as a result – you’ll be able to play a key role in the design, manufacture and maintenance of safe structures that stand the test of time. Combining theory and practical lab exercises, you’ll be transformed into a welding professional, capable of working in a multitude of diverse, high-paying roles found within a wide array of industries.
Offered in both co-op and regular formats the program prepares you for a job as an inspector, supervisor, educator, consultant, and more. You can also sign up for an extra year of study to complete an advanced diploma in .
Welding professionals are concerned with all activities related to the design, production, performance, and maintenance of welded products. To adequately design a weldment, the welding professional must not only understand the material being joined, but also the effect of welding variables of many welding processes on the final product. To achieve this, lab time is intertwined with a curriculum of metallurgical science and engineering theory. In developing the skills required in becoming a welding inspector, students complement their knowledge of non-destructive examination with a working knowledge of codes, standards and stress analysis.
The Welding Engineering Technician – Inspection program is not just about arcs and sparks; it is about science, technology and the engineering of welding. Our students learn to develop, qualify, and implement welding procedures; to use their knowledge of welding, metallurgy, mechanics, and electrical engineering in the design and manufacturing of safe structures; and to inspect and maintain the integrity of such structures while they are in service.
Graduates of the Welding Engineering Technician – Inspection program may choose to continue their studies and complete an additional year in order to obtain a diploma in Welding Engineering Technology.
