| Welding is used in aviation, engineering, manufacturing, construction, maintenance and the auto industry. It is an essential skill whether you are building skyscrapers in Manhattan or manufacturing auto parts in Burlington.
Heli-arc, wire, torch and conventional arc welding are among the many different welding techniques and procedures students can learn. Using modern welding equipment and machinery, students are trained in setup techniques, metal properties, and blueprint reading. AWS (American Welding Society) certification is available for students who successfully complete this program.
The Welding and Metal Fabrication Program trains students in the recognition of metals as well as the proper procedures of welding. Instruction includes electric arc, oxyacetylene, and Tungsten inert gas welding, as well as metal cutting and brazing. Instruction also includes safety, care and use of small hand and power tools. During the second year of this program students are encouraged to design and build their own projects such as go-carts, tools, trailers, etc. Qualified students are placed in related jobs through the Cooperative Education Work Experience Program.
