Welding, Machining, Manufacturing

One- or two-year program offered to junior and senior students.  Welding, machining, and CAD principles will be taught through hands-on experiences.  Topics include:

  • Welding processes – (Stick, Oxyacetylene, Mig, Tig, Plasma cutting, and OAW cutting), 
  • Machine operations – (Lathes, Mills, Grinders, Shear, Pipe cutters, etc.)
  • AutoCAD – Computer aided drafting program
  • Blueprint reading

The second year will provide the students with the opportunity to obtain advanced training on components of welding and metal fabrication.  

  • Welding processes – (Structural welds, Pipe welds, Flux cored welding)
  • Machine operations – (CNC and manual Machining)
  • Inventor – Computer aided drafting program
  • Product design and development
  • Internship at manufacturing site
