Program Highlights:
In this two-year NYSED-Approved CTE Program, welding students learn the technology and art of joining metal by various methods, including Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), and Oxy-Acetylene Welding (OAW). Students also learn gas and electric arc cutting, blueprint reading, electrode selection, joint design, and metallurgy. Students complete test plates to increase skill and accuracy. Students apply welding and cutting skills to fabrication of metal objects and work on customer projects, fabricating, repairing parts/equipment, and performing maintenance.
