Welding Technology
The Welding Technology Program at Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) is designed to provide students with the technical expertise and hands-on skills needed for a successful career in the welding industry. This comprehensive program prepares students for employment in structural fabrication, manufacturing, construction, and industrial welding applications. With a strong emphasis on safety, precision, and industry standards, students will develop proficiency in multiple welding processes, including Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).
Through classroom instruction and hands-on training in state-of-the-art welding labs, students will master essential techniques such as metal cutting, blueprint reading, welding metallurgy, and fabrication. The curriculum fosters cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains, ensuring students are prepared for the technical challenges and problem-solving demands of real-world welding environments.
Students will also gain practical experience through industry partnerships and work-based learning opportunities, providing exposure to professional settings and potential career pathways. Whether pursuing a career as a welder, fabricator, or welding inspector, MSJC’s Welding Technology Program provides a solid foundation for lifelong success in this essential and dynamic industry.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn a Certificate in Welding, along with industry-recognized NCCER Welding Level I and Level II credentials, equipping them with the skills needed for immediate employment in the field.
