instruction and skill development for the student to become
gainfully employed in the welding field. The highly individualized
instruction provides for both classroom instruction and practical
work experience using hand tools and welding equipment. The
major emphasis of the course is placed on electric arc,
oxyacetylene, plasma, GTAW and GMAW welding.
Welding is one of the most common and dependable methods of
joining metal parts such as airplanes, autos, household
appliances, barges, buildings, boilers, missiles, pipelines,
storage tanks and tugs.
The skilled welder is able to plan, lay out and work from
