The associate of applied science (AAS) degree in Welding & Nondestructive Testing Technology is designed to enable students to develop manual skills in four main welding processes and three thermal cutting processes.  Students also gain a wide range of technical knowledge in welding applications, procedures, reading plans and specifications and applied metallurgy.  Welder qualification tests are administered as prescribed in AWS D1.1, API Standards 1104 or ASME IX welding codes. 

Students examine metallic components or weldments to locate and evaluate discontinuities by learning to apply liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, eddy current, radiographic and ultrasonic test methods.  Students may be qualified in each method based on general, specific and practical examinations prescribed by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing.
