About

Welding is a 12-month program that provides students with the basic techniques of the welding process common in industry. Instruction in operations such as flame cutting, grinding, metal preparation, the use of tools and equipment, related math, physical properties of metal, effects of heat thickness allowances, shrinkage, basic joint design, layout, and fabrication are provided.

The student will develop skills and knowledge in stick electrode (SMAW), gas welding, brazing, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), TIG and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and MIG welding on ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including pipe, structural steel, plate, stainless steel, and aluminum.
