Welding

The Welding Program is designed to teach specific skills in all aspects of the welding trade. This includes arc welding, oxyacetylene welding, TIG, MIG, brazing, and semi-automatic cutting. Other related areas of study will include blueprint reading, job layout, shop math, hard surfacing (ARC as well as powder torch) and pipe welding. Students learn welding processes that allow them to work with mild steel, cast iron, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and some alloy metals. The curriculum is directly related to the welding industry and employment opportunities for graduates. As the technology advances with new materials, fabrication procedures, equipment, tools, and new design methods, the curriculum is continually updated to provide the latest in training.

Instruction will include in-shop training, on-the-job site, and classroom situations, with the majority of the program devoted to actual “ hands-on” experience. Each student will have the opportunity to get involved in group welding projects and individualized projects. Applied work situations will allow students to use the portable welder service truck in a variety of off-campus projects. Related classroom time includes lectures, videos, guest speakers, text and workbook material.
