Community College of Denver — Advanced Manufacturing Center

This 65-credit Associate of Applied Science combines welding safety, cutting and oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, technical mathematics, Stick, TIG, MIG, pipe welding, and design/layout/fabrication. Students work with steels and aluminum from heavy plate and pipe to thin-gauge sheet. The program prepares graduates for production, construction, and fabrication welding and to attempt limited-thickness AWS D1.1 qualification tests in SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW.

A 17-credit entry-level certificate covering welding safety, allied cutting, oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, and technical mathematics. The credential is stackable into the Fabrication Welder A.A.S.

A 29-credit stackable certificate that adds introductory Stick, TIG, and MIG welding to safety, cutting, oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, and technical mathematics.

A 37-credit certificate centered on basic and advanced Stick welding, with cutting, oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, technical math, introductory TIG, and pipe welding. An official CCD catalog description states that graduates are prepared to attempt a limited-thickness AWS D1.1 SMAW welder qualification test.

A 53-credit stackable certificate covering welding safety, cutting, oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, technical mathematics, basic and advanced Stick, introductory and advanced MIG and TIG, pipe welding, and design, layout, and fabrication.

A 33-credit certificate combining welding safety, cutting, oxyacetylene joining, blueprint reading, TIG, and creative welding with two- and three-dimensional design, art appreciation, and SolidWorks/mechanical CAD.

A 23-credit manufacturing certificate combining machine-shop safety, print reading, engine-lathe and milling-machine fundamentals with welding safety, allied cutting, and two welding electives selected from oxyacetylene joining, Stick, TIG, or MIG. It is designed for entry-level manufacturing equipment service and repair work.
