WELDING TECHNOLOGY
WELDING TECHNOLOGY –
ADVANCED
Welding
Technology and Welding Technology Advanced are open-entry, open-exit,
competency-based welding programs with program entry four times each year.
In the program
orientation, students learn shop safety regulations, tool crib procedures,
record keeping, and the history of welding. After students have seen a
demonstration of each unit, they practice all units in basic, advanced,
oxyacetylene, heli arc, and micro wire welding. Upon completion of each block of work,
students review all units until they can demonstrate at least 77% proficiency
in the welding of all standard joints and in all standard positions. The display board in the welding shop is the
standard.
Students will
be evaluated by the faculty as to their skills, their ability to work safely, and
their professional skills (e.g., appearance, dress, attendance and compliance
with school and program policies and procedures).
After completion
of all program competencies, students may elect to test for code certification
on plate and pipe welding.
PROGRAM
MISSION
The mission of the
Welding program is to prepare students for employment or advanced training in
the welding industry. This program also
provides supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in
these occupations.
WELDING TECHNOLOGY PHILOSOPHY
We believe in
assisting the student in the development of his/her ability to get along with
others, show integrity, develop safe professional skills both on and off the
job, evidence personal and job cleanliness and demonstrate the ability to
become a better adjusted, more productive citizen.
Applicants must be at least 16 years of age and
should be academically, physically, and emotionally capable of meeting the
demands of the chosen program.
Applicants make initial application through the Admissions Office. A minimum skills evaluation is part of the
admission process.
The Welding Technology program has the
following minimum admissions requirements:
1.
Complete
an LTC online application
2.
Take
the TABE, if required.
3.
Meet
with a career advisor
4.
Confer
with the program faculty prior to actual enrollment
TEST OF ADULT
BASIC EDUCATION (TABE)
All
applicants for Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs 450 hours or more,
with the exception of Florida Law Enforcement Academy applicants, take a state
mandated TABE prior to enrollment. TABE scores are good for two years and must
be valid at the time of enrollment.
Several
exemptions to TABE are accepted. In order to be exempt, a student must submit
official documentation to a career advisor for verification of an exemption:
1. Applicants
who have earned a standard State of Florida high school diploma, 2007 or later,
or possess a documented degree (AA, AS, AAS, BA or BS) may be exempt from TABE
testing. (s.1004.91).
2. Applicants
who have earned a State of Florida High School diploma via the GED® test no
more than two years prior to the start of class.
3. Students
taking any accepted standardized tests such as PERT or ACT may be exempt from
the TABE provided the scores are at satisfactory levels and the test was taken
within two years of enrollment in a Career and Technical Education program
(6A-10315, 6A-10.040).
4. A
student who has completed or who is exempt from the college-level communication
and computation skills (CLAST) examination pursuant to s.1008.29 is also exempt
from the TABE. Per s. 1008.29.
5. Documented
successful completion of college-level remedial coursework may be used to meet
TABE requirement.
6. Documented
passing scores on state-designated industry certification tests may be used.
7. Mandated
TABE exit scores may be waived for documented special needs students as per
Florida guidelines. The student must enroll in AAAE and begin remediation in
order to meet the exit requirements of the CTE program in which the student is
enrolled. A student, with a documented disability, who is approaching
completion (mastered 90% of the competencies) of the CTE program and has not
met TABE scores, may be considered for a TABE exemption based on the following.
It is determined through a SIT meeting that the student has successfully
mastered the competencies of the CTE program in which she/he is enrolled and
has been participating as expected in AAAE. The members of the SIT meeting may
agree to waive TABE requirements.
According to Florida Department of Education rules, students who fail
all or parts of the TABE may only retest using a different TABE version after
60 documented hours of remediation in the Applied Academics for Adult Education
(AAAE) lab or three months if not attending AAAE. Students may not retake the
same test version for six months. We, therefore, strongly recommend that
students test early, especially for licensure programs, in order to allow time
for remediation and retesting should the need arise.
Students who do not meet the minimum TABE scores set by the Florida
Department of Education for their program must begin attending remediation
classes in the AAAE lab prior to or at the time of enrollment in a Career and
Technical Education class for at least one block a day and make acceptable
progress as determined by the AAAE faculty. It is highly recommended students
meet state mandated TABE requirements by the time they have completed 50% of
their program. Students who do not meet state mandated TABE scores may not
receive a certificate of completion as per Florida Department of Education
rules.
Applicants transferring
appropriately leveled TABE, PERT or other accepted standardized test scores
from other testing centers must do so by having an official score report sent
directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program. Scores brought
by hand will be accepted only if document provided by the outside testing
center is in a sealed envelope. Standardized tests scores are valid for two
years.
TABE scores are good for two years and must be
valid at the time of enrollment. TABE scores that expire during continuous
enrollment remain valid until the end of such enrollment. Under continuous
enrollment, students must be enrolled at least 50% of each semester per school
year. Continuous enrollment applies to attendance in a single program.
The required TABE exit scores for this program
are: Reading, 9; Math, 9; and Language,
9.

Federal and state
legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with
disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or
postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to meet individual needs to ensure
equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify,
present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan
with their postsecondary provider.
Students desiring
accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to
self-identify as early in the program as possible. In order to receive
disability accommodations, students must self-disclose the disability to the
Students with Disabilities Coordinator and provide documentation that clearly
shows evidence of a disability and applicable accommodations. The Students with
Disabilities Coordinator will schedule a meeting with the student and faculty
to discuss the documented disability and applicable accommodations.
Accommodations received
in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary
education. Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students
with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional
methods and materials, assignments, assessments, time demands, schedules,
learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems.
Documentation of the accommodation requested and provided is maintained in a
confidential file.

Tuition is charged for adult students at
a rate established by the State legislature. Current fee information is
available in the Admissions Office. Tuition is waived for eligible high school
dual-enrolled students. Tuition is due prior to the first day of each
semester based on the Lake Technical College payment calendar. Failure to pay
all fees due at the time class begins will result in not being able to attend
class and/or clinical if applicable.
Full-time Day students attend class from
7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Thursday, with a 30-minute lunch period.
Evening students attend from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, with
a 30-minute dinner break. This schedule provides 7.5 hours of instruction each
day for a total of 30 hours per five-day week, excluding holidays and school
breaks as outlined in the current school calendar.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
In
an effort to develop appropriate work ethics, Lake Tech students are expected
to attend all class sessions. As is expected in the workplace, when it is
necessary to be absent due to illness or emergency situations, all students are
to notify the faculty on or before the date of absence. The student attendance
policy for each postsecondary program is consistent with industry standards.
Campus attendance is kept via a
computerized system. It is the
responsibility of the student to log in and out in order
to receive credit for class time. This allows the school to keep accurate
attendance records for the actual number of hours and minutes attended. Faculty
are not expected to manually enter student attendance. Only one override is
permitted for failure to log in or out. Therefore, failure of a student to log
in and out may result in a documented absence. Logging in or out for another
student or having another student log in or out is unacceptable behavior and
may result in dismissal.
Only regularly scheduled
class hours will be reported for attendance. Practice exercises completed at
home does not count toward hours in the program. Make-up time will not be
accepted except as approved by the Executive Director of Lake Technical
College.
Absences
A student who is absent for
six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from enrollment in his/her
program. A student withdrawn for absenteeism must petition administration to
return. A student having medical documentation or documentation of an extenuating
circumstance does not need to petition to return. Students exhibiting a pattern
of consecutive absences less than six days will be subject to dismissal as
determined by a School Intervention Team. Students with attendance issues will
sign an acknowledgement that they have been notified that continued absences
will pose a threat to grades and program enrollment. If the student’s attendance does not improve but
drops below 60%, the student will be withdrawn unless documentation regarding
extenuating circumstances is provided to the Dean of Student Services.
Students in non-licensure programs must have achieved a minimum of
80% attendance at the end of each quarter. Students not having met this
requirement will sign an acknowledgement that they have been notified that
continued absences will pose a threat to grades and program enrollment. School
Intervention Team meetings will be held as necessary to attempt to alleviate
issues resulting in excessive absences and to counsel the student of possible
alternatives and consequences. Students who miss more than 20% of their program
will not be allowed to re-enroll the next semester and must wait until the
following enrollment period to re-register unless the student’s appeal to the Executive
Director has been approved. Only regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for
attendance.
Tardiness
As
in the workplace, students are expected to be in their seats promptly in the
morning, after break, and after lunch. Students are expected to notify the faculty
before the start of class of any anticipated tardies.
Leaving Campus During School Hours
For safety reasons, students will notify
their faculty when leaving campus early. Students may leave campus for lunch
provided this is done within the allotted time.
Methods of
Teaching
Material
used is self-paced and competency based.
Students proceed at their own pace with written, audio-visual, and
hands-on training. They are tested
periodically with written and practical testing. Practical shop experiences are designed to
enhance and reinforce the theories involved as well as to develop manipulative
skill and good work and safety practices.
Methods of instruction include: associated activities; demonstrations;
manipulative operations; group instruction; related technology; shop talk;
safety and motivation; individual instruction; and remedial work.

Online Access
Technology is an integral part of our
daily lives. From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are
becoming items that many cannot function without. In addition, the Internet
is changing the way education is delivered. Lake Technical College
strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology
driven world. With this in mind, it is recommended that students have an
online presence and access to the internet.
It is also important that students have
an email address that they check on a regular basis. A lot of information
may come to you through your email, so it is important that you check it
regularly. If you do not have an email address, there are numerous
services that provide FREE email addresses. Please make sure your faculty
have a current, working email address for you. See your faculty for more
information.
Social Media
The advent of
social media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all
ages. While extremely popular, these websites have also created their own set
of “not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft,
cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and
a host of other nebulous challenges that users may face. Another reality
associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who
share posts that may be seen by others as inappropriate.
Potential
employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be
associated with, and many others are looking at social media sites for
information that may tell them things about an individual. Students should also
be cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the
settings on an account. All social media
sites are potentially vulnerable. A
simple search of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular
social media website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content.
Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain how to accomplish this
task.
Students in
all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on
great moral character. It is recommended that when using social media, assume
that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the internet.
Laboratory
Activities
Shop or
laboratory activities are an integral part of this program and provide
instruction in various processes and techniques of welding and fabrication
skills, including thermal cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal
Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
(GTAW), Certification Test Preparation, and use of current industry standards,
practices and techniques.
Work
Based Activities
Work-based
learning activities play an integral part of the curriculum of Lake Technical College’s
(LTC) career-technical training programs. These activities are planned with two
objectives in mind. First, the activity provides students with the opportunity
to develop and apply a “real world” experience using the knowledge and skills
attained in the program. Second, the activity provides the faculty with
objective input from potential employers or customers of program graduates.
Each work-based activity has a written instructional plan outlining objectives,
experiences, competencies and evaluation required during the activity.
Work-based
activities are program specific and may include:
·
Unpaid in-school
shop/lab activities to provide customer service opportunities under the direct
supervision of the program faculty.
·
Unpaid job
shadowing experiences that may include in-school or off-campus employer-based
experiences under the supervision of a qualified employer representative who is
working closely with the program faculty.
·
Paid or unpaid
cooperative training experiences conducted at the employer’s work location
under the supervision of a qualified employer representative and under the direction
of the program faculty.
Co-operative
Education
Co-operative
training is available for students and coordinated by the program faculty. Co-operative training is for students who
have shown competence in program training, which indicates readiness for
placement in an on-the-job program Students must be enrolled in their last
course of their program in order to participate in Co-op. In addition, TABE
exit levels must be met and the student can have no outstanding debt with the
school. Students must be approved for Co-op prior to beginning, including
clearance through financial aid.
Students who
do not function satisfactorily on the job may be returned to the program for
additional training or when the co-operative agreement is terminated at the
request of the student, the parent, the employer, or the program faculty.
Additional
information regarding co-op opportunities may be obtained from the program faculty.
Veterans will
be accepted into the program in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs
policies.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing
experiences or volunteer experiences are available to students who may benefit
from the experience. These experiences are designed to give the student actual
hands-on experience doing a variety of welding related tasks. Length and type of experiences will
vary. The program faculty determines
appropriateness of the experience.
Additional information regarding job-shadowing experiences may be
obtained from the program faculty.
