Welding and Fabrication Engineering Technology is a practically driven programme that equips students with the technical knowledge and hands-on skills required to join, cut, and shape metals across various industrial applications. Students study core areas including arc welding, gas welding, pipe fabrication, structural steel design, metallurgy, blueprint reading, and quality control inspection. The curriculum blends theoretical engineering principles with intensive workshop practice, preparing graduates for immediate industry relevance. Upon completion, career opportunities span oil and gas fabrication yards, construction and infrastructure companies, shipbuilding firms, and manufacturing industries. Graduates may also establish independent fabrication workshops, tapping into Nigeria's growing construction sector. Registration with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) remains the recognised professional benchmark for engineering technology practitioners in the country.
