About the Program

This program enhances the abilities of the students preparing for a career in welding technology by giving them: Welding Symbols, Reading Welding Detail Drawings, Physical Characteristics and Mechanical Properties of Metals, Preheating and Postheating of Metals, GMAW & FCAW Equipment and Filler Metals, GMAW & FCAW Plate, GTAW Equipment and Filler Metal, and GTAW Plate. Welding is a high-tech industry that can take you places all over the world. From ladders to aircraft carriers, from NASCAR to national defense, and from the laboratory to sales and repair, the varied welding industry impacts virtually every industry.Technology is creating more uses for welding in the workplace. For example, new ways are being developed to bond dissimilar materials and non-metallic materials, such as plastics, composites, and new alloys.
