Combination Welding
This program will prepare the students for entry level positions with skills in four welding processes (Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding and Flux Core Arc Welding).
Students will perform fillets, lap, corner joint and V-groove welds in the Flat, Horizontal, Verticalup and Overhead positions.
Students will gain knowledge in lay-out and fabrication as well as blueprint reading for the welders, welding safety and metallurgy.
Graduates will be eligible to take a welding performance qualification test as used in industry.
