Course Description:
Classroom instruction combined with HANDS-ON training enables students to develop knowledge and skills in welding safety, use of tools, proper techniques in brazing, flame and plasma cutting, gas metal arc (mig), gas tungsten arc (tig), and shielded metal arc (stick electrode) welding processes and apply them according to diagrams, blueprints and written specifications. Students may advance at their own pace in developing these techniques and skills. Second Year students will apply their knowledge and skills to higher competency levels expected of entry to intermediate level welders. It is helpful if a student has some previous mechanical drawing coursework and math aptitude.

Student Quotes:
"This class taught me more about welding, and how to read the welding symbols/blueprints. It gave me more interest to pursue a career in the welding field, especially being a female."

"What I liked most about this class are the skills I learned and the sheer amount of desire I have to be a welder now. The demand for welders, which I learned about in this class, is also a very important to know."
