Industrial Welding Certificate

Program Description

Code 155 - 25 Credits

Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal parts. Through welding, heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. There are a variety of welding processes including stick, MIG, and TIG. The Industrial Welding core curriculum at Kellogg Community College prepares students to weld a variety of metals in various positions using each of these processes. Students may pursue either a Certificate or an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Industrial Welding. To earn the certificate, students must complete twenty-five (25) credits in the Welding core curriculum.

Modules within the curriculum cover:

Advanced Arc Welding
Brazing and Soldering
Cutting Processes
Gas Metal Arc Welding
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Oxyacetylene Welding
Pipe Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Special Applications
Welding Metallurgy

Modular Format

Industrial Trades curricula are offered in a non-traditional, modular format. Module descriptions are not listed in the catalog. For more information about Industrial Trades modules go to the Industrial Trades page at https://kellogg.edu/academics/areas-of-study/manufacturing-skilled-trades-applied-technology/trades/.

Industrial Trades Orientation

All students interested in taking Industrial Trades modules must complete one or more core curriculum orientations. The orientation is a core curriculum prerequisite. Students will not be able to register for modules until the orientation is completed.

Program Learning Outcomes

Program learning outcomes are identified for each degree program. The learning outcomes for the Industrial Welding certificate align with the program learning outcomes for the Industrial Welding, AAS .
