Welding Technology is a comprehensive program of studies designed to provide skill development opportunities in oxyacetylene (gas) and electric welding. Classes are conducted in laboratories that are equipped with modern industrial welding equipment, and skills development opportunities are afforded in advanced welding techniques.
Welding student equipment requirements:
Safety first and follow directions always. You will be welding, and there is a high possibility you will get burned, exposed to heat, exposed to smoke, or receive minor cuts and abrasions. You are to take the necessary precautions and purchase the required equipment and any additional equipment you feel is appropriate. No equipment will be loaned out and none of your equipment will be stored on campus for you. If you show up to the welding lab in baggy or frayed pants, tennis shoes or flip flops you will be asked to go home and change, and you will lose points for the day. If you show up without your equipment you will be asked to leave and return with your equipment, and you will lose points for the day.
When there is lecture you will need your textbook as required per your syllabus, pen, pencil, paper, folder, or binder, and a ruler. Bring these items to class or you will be asked to leave and retrieve the required items, and you will lose points for the day. The instructors in the Welding Program take their job and safety seriously. The same is expected of you as students. If you cannot comply with these requirements, do not register for the welding courses. There are other students that are willing to comply, make the sacrifice, and take your place.
