ASME and CEC hosting joint meeting.
Date: April 28th, 2025
Time: 3:00-5:00pmET
Location: Chattanooga State - Center for Engineering, Technology, Arts and Sciences (CETAS) - Gerald McCormick Center building. Room MCC 207-209.
Join us for National Welding Month - Presentation/Tour of Chattanooga State Welding Technology Program.
The program involves a combination of basic welding techniques and other technical aspects of welding. Students learn basic oxyacetylene cutting and welding; shielded metal arc welding (SMAW); gas metal arc welding (GMAW); fluxcore arc welding (FCAW); and gas tungsten arc gas welding (GTAW);. Students also complete course work in mathematics and blueprint reading for welding.
Full-time day courses are available at the Main campus, Kimball campus and the Dayton Welding Lab. Evening courses are available at the Main campus.
The mission of the program is to provide technical instruction and skill development enabling students to find gainful employment in the welding field. Highly individualized instruction provides for both classroom instruction and practical work experience using hand tools, fabrication shop equipment and welding equipment. The major emphasis of the program is placed on safety, oxyacetylene cutting, plasma arc cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding and flux core arc welding of carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Welding is detail-oriented technology. Close attention must be made in all areas of welding, cutting, metal preparation, and fabrication.
Class room and shop experiences focus on construction trades, manufacturing, and industrial welding. Students learn about safety, mathematics and print reading.
