焊接工程理学学士

焊接工程采用科学和工程技术来连接金属，陶瓷，塑料和其他材料制成的部件。焊接工程包括要焊接的接头的设计，要使用的详细接头程序的开发，接头所含材料的选择，接头检查以及最终产品的质量控制。焊接工程还可以涉及这些领域的研究，例如开发新的焊接工艺或新材料的程序。焊接工程师与设计工程师合作开发高效的焊接设计和制造程序。焊接工程师参与涉及焊接制造的研发，生产，构造和检查功能。他们还从事咨询，教学，管理，销售和服务职能。也有机会成为私营企业的所有者或合作伙伴。随着世界对环境和自然资源保护需求的意识日益增强，焊接工程师可以
Welding engineering employs science and engineering in joining components made of metals, ceramics, plastics and other materials. Welding engineering includes design of the joints to be welded, development of the detailed joining procedures to be used, selection of the materials incorporated in the joint, joint inspection and quality control for the final product. Welding engineering can also involve research in these areas, such as developing new welding processes or procedures for new materials. Welding engineers work with design engineers to develop efficient welding designs and fabrication procedures. Welding engineers are involved in research and development, production, construction, and inspection functions involving welded fabrication. They also work in consulting, teaching, management, sales and service functions. There are also opportunities to be owners or partners in private sector businesses. As the world becomes more conscious of the environment and the need for conservation of natural resources, many new opportunities are available for welding engineers. These opportunities include the design and manufacture of automobiles, trucks and airplanes that are lighter, safer and more fuel efficient, with improved environment control systems. The exploration of space brings the opportunity of designing and manufacturing space probes and space shuttles.
