Associate of Science in Maritime Welding Technology

The Associate in Occupational Science (A.O.S.) degree program offers core training in the practical aspects of construction and repair of equipment and structures built with steel. In addition to structural skills, students will learn to weld pipe in multiple positions. Instruction is presented in both classroom and laboratory using modern welding equipment and tools. Students gain hands-on experience in a realistic shop setting where they must demonstrate specific proficiencies. Program content provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment as a combination of structural and pipe welder.

The Trades Leadership course work provides students with a strong foundation in customer service, communications skills, employee relations, inventory management, and critical thinking skills.

At the program's successful completion, the student will receive an Associate of Occupational Science in Trades Leadership with Specialization in Maritime Welding Technology.
