Why are welding engineers important?
According to the American Welding Society (AWS), over half of all U.S. products require a welding component. Were talking about infrastructureour buildings, bridges, railroads. Those things need qualified people to make them safe and efficient, shares Jim Proctor, welding professor. [Welding] is one of the engines that make the United States of America go.
Skilled welders are essential around the world, with opportunities spanning industries such as aerospace, automotive and construction. Options also include broader roles such as inspectors or instructors. This demand creates a wide range of potential career paths for those who enter the profession.
We have small class sizes, highlights Keith Proctor, welding professor. So that lends to a safer work environment, more one-on-one time with each student that were afforded.
Students who enroll in the welding program at Delta may graduate with a certificate or associates degree in welding engineering technology and find work in the industry. Students who want to open more opportunities in the field of welding may elect to continue their training at a four-year university, such as , to earn a Bachelor of Science in Welding Engineering Technology.
