program objective 

The Welding Technology program prepares students for entry-level welder 

positions as structural and pipe welders. Students develop key fundamental 

skills during the initial courses and learn to apply these skills using different 

and more complex welding procedures. The welding procedures include 

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/ 

MIG), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Gas 

Welding (GTAW/TIG). Using each of these procedures, students learn to 

weld plate and pipe in various positions including horizontal, vertical, and 

overhead. Students also learn various techniques for cutting and preparing 

metal for welding procedures. 

Upon successful completion of all components of this program, the 

graduate should possess the working knowledge and skills to qualify as 

a structural and/or pipe welder using any one of three standard welding 

processes in construction, fabrication, or plant maintenance work settings. 

Students should be able to successfully complete pre-qualification tests for 

any construction structural or pipe related projects. Students will be required 

to complete out-of-class assignments in each course.

HV203D – DIPLOMA PROGRAM 



day/aft/eve approximately 40 weeks (including holidays and scheduled breaks), 1080 instructional hours, 44 5 semester credits* 





Our collective concerns about the future health of the environment are at 

the heart of today’s dynamic Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning 

Technology industry, driving progressive changes through planning and 

implementation. The shift away from some of the more conventional HVAC 

systems still used in older residences and commercial buildings has been 

dramatic and continues to evolve. Newer systems focus on renewable energy 

sources, energy efficiency, and creating comfortable indoor environments. 

One of the primary objectives of the HVAC curriculum is to introduce 

students to Green Technology concepts as they apply to HVAC systems. 

Students are prepared to confidently enter this vibrant field possessing 

fundamental skills required to service, troubleshoot, and repair commercial 

and residential indoor HVAC air management systems. Students also learn 

proper refrigerant recovery and recycling techniques, and are encouraged to 

complete Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification testing. 

Upon completion of this program, graduates can expect to meet the essential 

entry-level skills and knowledge required of an HVAC technician. With 

additional experience graduates may pursue opportunities allowing them to 

work independently, without direct supervision, supervise crews or teams of 

other technicians, or start their own business. Graduates may also choose 

to specialize in one or more specific areas of the HVAC market including 

refrigeration, air conditioning, and heating. Students will be required to
