About the Program
This unique program provides extensive hands-on work with welding automation and robotics systems including: GMAW (MIG) and spot-welding applications, CAD/CAM applications with CNC thermal cutting, and off-line robotic simulation programming applications. The curriculum builds on welding technology background with broader knowledge in manufacturing methods and industrial automation. This program has a common first two years with the Welding Engineering Technology - Inspection program. The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) conditionally recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category. The optional co-op stream includes four consecutive four-month work terms.
Program Outcomes
Analyze and solve complex technical problems related to manufacturing environments through the application of engineering principles.
Design and analyze components, processes, and systems through the application of engineering principles and practices.
Select, assess, and test (using analytical, destructive, and non-destructive inspection techniques) materials, structures, and weld joints to assure compliance with physical and metallurgical requirements.
Analyze and prepare graphics and other technical documents to appropriate engineering standards.
Use computer hardware and software to support the engineering environment.
Assist in the specification of manufacturing operations and processes.
Select, develop specifications for and program robotic and automated welding and joining systems.
Apply knowledge of machinery, tools, and other equipment in manufacturing and assembling components.
Specify, coordinate, and conduct quality control and quality assurance procedures.
Recognize the environmental, economic, legal, safety, and ethical implications of manufacturing projects.
Use and maintain documentation, inventory, and records systems.
Participate in the management of a manufacturing project.
Develop strategies and plans to improve job performance and work relationships.
Co-op Information
Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages.
The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
