    Welding Engineering Technology l Bachelor of Science

    Why Choose Welding Engineering Technology?Established in 1984, the nationally recognized Welding EngineeringTechnology program is the largest of its kind in the United States.The program is designed to produce plant-level welding engineeringtechnology graduates who are involved in the concept, design andengineering of weldments and implementation of welding processes.This overall knowledge of weldments and the ability to engineer

    welding and joining systems produces graduatees who are in greatdemand and highly compensated. As recognition of academicexcellence and program quality, in August 2008 the WeldingEngineering Technology program was granted TAC-ABETAccredition from the Technology Accreditation Committee (TAC) ofABET.

    Ferris provides several welding instructional areas includinglaboratories dedicated to inspection, mechanical testing, robotics,laser processing, resistance welding and material preparation/fabrication. In addition to core welding classes, courses in materialscience, computer aided design, electronics and machine tooldisciplines are required and are taught by faculty specialists in thosedepartments.

    Career OpportunitiesWith one out of two products that comprise the gross domesticproduct containing a weld, the welding profession is prevalent in allareas of our economy. Graduates of the Welding Engineering

    Technology program currently hold over fifty different job titles. Themost common include welding engineer, manufacturing engineer,application engineer, sales engineer and project engineer ormanager. Graduates find employment opportunities in all sectors ofthe construction, fabrication and manufacturing economy. The mostcommon employers include the automotive industry, agricultural andconstruction equipment producers, oil & gas industry suppliers,welding equipment manufacturers and robotics and weldingautomation firms. Employment has been procured in more than 30states across the country, with Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,Ohio and Iowa having the highest concentrations. Alumni haveenjoyed international assignments ranging from a few weeks to fiveyears in over 20 countries on six different continents around theworld. Average starting salaries are approximately $64,000 per year.
