Combining hands-on instruction and theory, develop your skills and knowledge in structural steel design, fabrication, welding and metallurgy in preparation for a career as a welding specialist or quality control and inspection officer.

The Welding Engineering Technology program offers two years of hands-on education. The first year focuses on academic fundamentals and structural steel design and fabrication.

During the second year, you will learn pressure vessel design, construction and testing. You will design, build and test a pressure vessel as part of your final project. Practical welding skills are also developed to gain an in-depth understanding of welding processes.

Graduates may apply to the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta for their Certified Engineering Technologist designation after two years of appropriate industrial experience.

Thankfully I’m not just out of high school dealing with this money grab. The power engineering courses unfortunately are mandated by legislation as a requirement for work in the field and SAIT is THE worst at educating. It is a glorified text book with computer quizzes. And for that they charge through the nose. I might as well have gone back to university and taken a degree in Engineering for the price I paid for this time limited course. No text books made available, no answers from a so called instructor, money paid for exams, extortion money for extensions of online courses. Just pure money making by a failing institution. I had better hopes for SAIT. Going to do all my online elsewhere.
Do not go here.

If you want to pay out of your nose to try and learn from instructors who can barely speak english let alone interface with you in figuring things out, this is the school for you. What a worthless program and diploma-mill of an institution. Spend your time and money pursuing things closer to you than the pigeonholes places like this would have you shoved inside.
