Integrated Manufacturing Technology Precision Welding from Southern Maine Community College is a Campus Associate Engineering General degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Integrated Manufacturing Technology Precision Welding concentration offers a two-year associate degree program combining basic machining with welding. During the first year of the integrated manufacturing program, extensive lab work is combined with theory covering the topics of conventional machining: lathes, milling machines, surface grinders, drill presses, power metal cutting saws, layout, and bench work. Through the constant use of blueprints, students become proficient in conforming to industry expectations and program standards. The latest electronic equipment parallels the most modern quality control processes. Second year students pursuing the Welding option will blend manual machining with a variety of welding processes, while acquiring a broad knowledge of metals, heat treatment, shop organization, lean manufacturing, and foremanship. Applicants with a significant amount of previous machining experience will be evaluated and assigned special projects appropriate to their demonstrated skill level to advance their knowledge and skills. Some of the job opportunities for graduates include: machine operator and setup person for conventional machining, welder , mill fabricator. Some graduates are self-employed. Upon completion of the Precision Welding program, graduates will be able to: Identify and practice safe work habits of a welder in a weld shop, in a machine shop, and at industrial sites. Demonstrate knowledge and skills required to safely set up and operate conventional metalworking machinery. Describe the rules and processes required for state or employer structural welding.
