The process of welding uses heat to permanently bond objects together. Because of its strength, welding is used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace applications, building and bridge construction, and thousands of other manufacturing activities. The Welding Department at LBWCC prepares students for a broad background in welding with many diverse employment options. The program includes fundamental processes and skills, with an emphasis on students earning nationally-recognized certifications. Program graduates receive instruction in a variety of welding processes, including shielded metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding, as well as visual inspection and blueprint reading.
CNC Manufacturing Technology 1-2-3 is a unique and intensive training experience that improves a manufacturing employee’s effectiveness on the shop floor. The program works simultaneously in multiple content areas in an all-in-one model. You will experience an actual production machining environment that culminates in a finished multi-component product.
The curriculum addresses emerging Additive Manufacturing practices commonly known as Rapid Prototyping or 3-D printing which has become more prevalent in local industry. Additive manufacturing practices replace or compliment traditional machining/manufacturing practices known as subtractive manufacturing. While based on the traditional study of advanced manufacturing, this certificate helps students obtain a specialization in this revolutionary manufacturing process and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.High school graduate reading and writing skills are expected, as development of technical reports, use of technical manuals and interpretation of codes are required in these courses. Math skills should include practical knowledge of algebra, basic trigonometry, and geometry.Credits earned may be applied toward an associate's degree.Courses in each level (Foundation, Core, and Advanced Track) must be completed prior to advancing to the next level. Where more than one course is offered within a level, courses may be taken in any sequence.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the process of creating 3D Virtual Models of components and assemblies, and 2D drawings that fully describe the product. The Mechanical Designer, while using a wide variety of CAD software, develops the product and creates drawings following standardized practices through International and company related standards. This program provides learning opportunities in multiple CAD software packages, drawing creation following ASME standards, tool and machine design, dimension & tolerance per the ASME Y14.5 standard and introduction to part creation through Manufacturing. Graduates can find employment in design and engineering related activities, in the areas of transportation, aerospace, medical technology, power transmission and defense.
The curriculum for this certificate teaches basic electrical/electronic fundamentals needed to enter the electronics technician workforce. Courses combine a mixture of classroom and lab instruction using the classroom to present basic theory and the lab to reinforce that theory with hands-on practical experiments.
The Basic Certificate program in Combination Welder is designed to provide students with training in basic welding skills in a shop setting. In addition to learning welding mathematics, blueprint reading, and layout and fabrication, students are also introduced to the basic fundamentals of job safety and ethics. Graduates of this program are qualified for entry level employment as an ARC, MIG, or TIG welder.
