Aerospace Welding and Fabrication Certificate

Overview

Aerospace Welding / Fabrication Certificate (MEFAWC20) Active: F 2022

The Aerospace Welding/Fabrication Certificate is a two-quarter program designed to prepare students to work at the entry level in a manufacturing facility and the aerospace industry. The courses serve as an introduction. The knowledge and skills acquired in these courses are required for entry level positions in diverse workplace scenarios with special emphasis on aerospace. Content includes sheet metal fabrication, press break operation, CNC plasma cutting, specialized TIG welding, blueprint reading and safety.

This 35-credit certificate may be considered a stand-alone credential for people seeking to enter the manufacturing field, or as part of a stackable set of certificates and degrees in the EvCC Advanced Manufacturing Program

The Welding Department often offers credit for knowledge gained through work experience in welding-related fields. If students have industry experience, they may be eligible for credit through a prior experiential learning portfolio. More information on AMTEC prior learning portfolios is available on the EvCC ACPL website.
