Welders combine mechanical comprehension with
a bit of science and a touch of artistry in
making something as simple as a kitchen utensil
or as complex as an offshore drilling platform
or a component used in the outer space program.
The Welding Technology program prepares students
for industry or other job related fields.
Welding students are presented with the
knowledge to weld various types of metal using
several methods and processes. Students are
trained in layout, blueprint reading, work
orders, job site safety, and estimating
materials for the job.
Students are taught safety, joint design,
welding terminology, types of machines and
accessories, basic joints and positions, types
of cast iron, carbon and air arc cutting,
ventilation and protective devices, filler metal
and electrodes.
