Overview

High quality welding of materials and equipment is essential across numerous industries in today’s economy. Welded materials support daily life, influence the world, and endure through time. Weld quality is thus critical for citizens’ health and safety and is also related to the economic health of a country. The Welding Engineering Technician acts as a liaison between professional engineers and welding practitioners and ensures that appropriate systems are in place to monitor welding integrity. In fact, it is they who create and manage quality control and quality assurance systems, examine industry standards and codes, and recommend which welding processes and procedures to apply for achievement of compliance. They perform visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) of welded materials, evaluate and record test results and recommend corrective actions. This work requires attention to detail and great problem-solving skills, as well as the technical knowledge to complete diverse tasks that utilize the latest in welding technology and contribute to creating safe, strong assemblies that last. CNA’s project-based, immersive Welding Engineering Technician program is designed to meet growing industry demand for these highly trained technicians. In modern shops and laboratory facilities, students gain skills and knowledges in Welding, Materials Science, Non-destructive Testing, and Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). With CNA, students will develop the skills and knowledge to excel in this profession. The work placement is optional – students can stay and avail of additional hands-on training or graduate and get straight to work in the industry. Upon completing this program, students will have qualifications or credentials on provincial, national and international levels and you are automatically eligible for membership in the Association of Engineering Technicians and Technologists of Newfoundland and Labrador (AETTNL), as well as similar associations in Canada.
