Welding
The welding program provides students with the hands-on training and theoretical background required to enter the workforce as combination welders, production welders or arc welders. The curriculum was developed with input from local industries and includes the setup and operation of equipment just like that found in the workplace.
Students' knowledge of mechanical properties and effects of heat on steel, aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel and other metals is increased. Students plan and fabricate projects according to blueprints and other specifications.
Training includes welding techniques used to weld plate, pipe and tubing in all positions. All major welding and cutting processes are covered. The curriculum also includes destructive and nondestructive testing and inspecting of welds.
