APPLIED WELDING TECHNOLOGIES
MISSION:
Our mission is to provide the necessary technical skills, knowledge,
and attitudes to prepare the students for employment and to
provide advanced training in a variety of occupations in the
welding industry.
DESCRIPTION:
The training includes, but is not limited to use of blueprints
and/or shop drawings, use of gases and/or welding processes
according to diagram, blueprints or written specifications.
Shop or laboratory activities are an integral part of this
program and provide instruction in various processes and techniques
of welding and fabrication skills. Laboratory activities also
include oxacetylene welding, brazing, and cutting (OAW) Arc
Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (GMAW), Flux Cored Welding (FCAW),
TIG welding (GTAW), Pipe welding and certification test preparation
per current industry standards, practices and techniques.
This program includes training in communications, leadership,
human relations, and safe and efficient work practices. See
the program instructor for location of media resources for
the program. Media inventory lists are located in the Official
MFT Program Notebook. Student club activities
may be an integral part of student learning in this program.
UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS:
Certification in various welding processes is optional
but enhances a student's employability. The State of Florida requires
students to meet a basic skills requirement prior to program completion.
The basic skills grade levels for this program are:
Mathematics
9.0, Language 9.0, Reading 9.0.
LICENSURE/CERTIFICATION/OTHER:
