A welding engineer is concerned with all of the activities related to the design, production,
performance, and maintenance of welded products. Interest is primarily in the fabricated
product, including material selection, manufacturing methods, equipment/tooling, operator
training, quality control, performance evaluation, sales, and service. The broad range of welded
products with which welding engineers deal includes structures, such as bridges and buildings;
pressure vessels and heat exchangers, such as nuclear/thermal/hydroelectric power systems,
boilers, chemical processing equipment, storage vessels, and transmission and distribution
piping; transportation vehicles for water, land, air, and space travel; and production and
processing machines of all types.
An inter-disciplinary field like Welding Engineering requires a working knowledge of several
different disciplines, with a strong grounding in at least one at the entry Level. The major
disciplines are:
In India, PG course in Welding Engineering are offered by some IITs, NITs and other reputed
universities (refer table 1). Some like NIT Trichy and MS University, Baroda have direct
collaborations with Industry (BHEL and L&T respectively) and offer good industry exposure.
Furthermore, The International Institute of Welding offers certification courses, such as
International Welding Engineer, International Welding Technologist and International Welding
Specialist to professionals with work experience, through its various authorized bodies.
All in all, opportunities in the welding field are endless and can be extremely rewarding and
because it is widely used in a number of key industries. Welding is an important part of our
nations growth and stability. In fact, for those who are involved in the welding industry, there is
a strong conviction that a large part of Indias emergent economy is dependent on welding, and
that continued advances in the field help to drive this nations productivity and strengthen its
financial stability.
Whether you enjoy working with your hands, traveling the world, inspecting and analyzing
things, working with numbers, communicating or inspiring others, there is a career opportunity
available in the welding industry.
