The program begins with training in safety and the proper handling of tools and shop supplies. Over the course of the year, our students become skilled in several welding and cutting processes in a variety of positions, including: • • • • (OFW) oxy-fuel welding and cutting (SMAW) stick welding (GMAW) mig welding (GTAW) tig welding Students also learn the proper set up and selection of welding equipment and how to read and perform duties from weld shop blueprints. Since quality is critical, you’ll also learn how to inspect your welds to meet today’s standards and specifications. All students must complete a welding capstone, designing a project from concept on through completion. Plus, there’s an option to take an elective on-the-job internship, which can help with finding future employment. Finally, you’ll gain the skill to properly set up, complete, and pass a welding bend test to AWS (American Welding Society) D1.1 standards.
