Welding Engineering

Ohio State University-Main Campus

Bachelor's Degree

Become a contributor for free to openly demonstrate student outcomes, industry alignment & eligibility criteria.

The welding engineering program provides basic liberal studies and the engineering training needed to function effectively in the manufacturing industries. Welding engineering courses combine work in several engineering fields. Four cross-disciplinary areas are covered to provide a well-rounded background for subsequent studies in welding materials, design, processes and nondestructive evaluations. This is designed to prepare the student for complex research, production and applications work ...

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Full-scope welding operations across multiple processes — perform autonomously on complex fabrications including structural steel, pipe, and pressure components in a manufacturing environment.
  • Non-routine weld defects such as porosity, undercut, and incomplete fusion — diagnose root causes and implement corrective action without supervisor direction.
  • Welding procedure specifications and qualified procedure selection — interpret and apply independently across varied metal types, thicknesses, and joint configurations.
  • Precision fit-up and dimensional conformance — verify using calibrated inspection tools and correct deviations before and during welding on tight-tolerance assemblies.
  • Equipment selection for specialized applications — evaluate and configure GMAW, GTAW, SMAW, or oxy-fuel systems to match material and position requirements.
  • Quality control checkpoints and weld acceptance criteria — apply AWS or applicable code standards consistently across an entire production run without prompting.
  • Material identification and traceability documentation — manage piece marks, heat numbers, and job records to satisfy customer and regulatory requirements.
  • Metallurgical considerations including preheat, interpass temperature, and post-weld treatment — determine and apply for alloy steels and dissimilar metal joints.
  • CAD drawings and engineering sketches — read and interpret to extract weld symbols, dimensions, and assembly sequence for complex fabrication projects.
  • Welding-related data and production metrics — record and report using spreadsheet or ERP software to support shop-floor quality and efficiency tracking.
