· PROFESSIONAL WELDER (7 months)

This program prepares a graduate for entry-level positions in structural, pipe, thin alloy and/or pipeline welding. Key welding processes include SMAW, MIG, TIG, high frequency TIG, and Fluxcore. The program consists of ten three-week phase courses for a total of 30 weeks, 30 semester credit hours, and 750 contact hours of instruction.

· ASSOCIATE OF OCCUPATIONAL STUDIES IN WELDING TECHNOLOGY (14 months)

To attain the associate's degree, a student participates in the Professional Welder program for the first seven months. Students who meet or exceed the cumulative grade point average requirement in addition to other admission requirements may enter the remaining stage of the Associate’s degree program. The next seven months are then dedicated to training to become a Welding Quality Assurance/Quality Control Inspector. Instruction is focused on Nondestructive Testing techniques.
This degree is available only at our Tulsa campus.

· ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGIES (9 months day shift/13 months night shift)

The objective of the Electro-Mechanical Technologies course at TWS in Jacksonville is to train and prepare students for entry as service and maintenance technicians in jobs that utilize technologies employed in the fields of air conditioning (both heating and cooling), and refrigeration. A student is required to complete each phase of training with a proven degree of competency in academic as well as hands-on acumen. Upon successful completion of the course, the student should have an understanding of mechanical and electrical principles and will have practical exposure to diagnosing, servicing and repairing common types of problems in related equipment.

The Solar Principles and Applications module of the Electro-Mechanical Technologies program provides an overview of photovoltaic (PV) science and an introduction to the fundamentals of solar energy. Through a combination of lecture, problem solving and hands-on lab exercises, students will learn the concepts and processes of photovoltaic systems, including their design and installation. The module covers the scope of solar energy systems' conceptual, mechanical and electrical design, with an emphasis on wiring and electrical issues.
