Description: Welding Technology students learn to fabricate and weld metal, using shielded metal arc, oxy-fuel, MIG, TIG, and plasma arc techniques and procedures. In addition, students study the properties of metals, safety, blueprint reading, electrical principles, welding symbols, and mechanical drawings. The principles of metallurgy, gases, and material science are integral to this course. This program includes classroom and lab experiences that lead students to AWS Certifications.
