该课程为毕业生提供与焊接相关的科学和技术背景，使他们能够与工程师和科学家互动，同时保持监督贸易人员所必需的实用技能。焊接专业人员关心与焊接产品的设计，生产，性能和维护有关的所有活动。为了充分设计焊件，焊接专业人员不仅必须了解所连接的材料，还必须了解许多焊接工艺中的焊接变量对最终产品的影响。为此，实验室时间与冶金科学和工程理论课程相互关联。在发展成为焊接检验员所需的技能时，学生会通过代码，标准和应力分析方面的实用知识来补充他们的无损检测知识。
Northern's Welding Engineering Technician Inspection program is a deep dive into the science, technology and engineering of welding and places you at the top of your game. Youll master everything from metallurgy to magnetic particle inspection, youll understand modes of metal transfer during welding, the mathematics of force calculations, and the minimum requirements of welding codes. And as a result youll be able to play a key role in the design, manufacture and maintenance of safe structures that stand the test of time. Combining theory and practical lab exercises, youll be transformed into a welding professional, capable of working in a multitude of diverse, high-paying roles found within a wide array of industries.<br><br>Offered in both co-op and regular formats the program prepares you for a job as an inspector, supervisor, educator, consultant, and more. You can also sign up for an extra year of study to complete an advanced diploma in Welding Engineering Technology.<br><br>Welding professionals are concerned with all activities related to the design, production, performance, and maintenance of welded products. To adequately design a weldment, the welding professional must not only understand the material being joined, but also the effect of welding variables of many welding processes on the final product. To achieve this, lab time is intertwined with a curriculum of metallurgical science and engineering theory. In developing the skills required in becoming a welding inspector, students complement their knowledge of non-destructive examination with a working knowledge of codes, standards and stress analysis.<br><br>The Welding Engineering Technician Inspection program is not just about arcs and sparks, it is about science, technology and the engineering of welding. Our students learn to develop, qualify, and implement welding procedures, to use their knowledge of welding, metallurgy, mechanics, and electrical engineering in the design and manufacturing of safe structures, and to inspect and maintain the integrity of such structures while they are in service.<br><br>Graduates of the Welding Engineering Technician Inspection program may choose to continue their studies and complete an additional year in order to obtain a diploma in Welding Engineering Technology.
