Description:
This program will prepare students for jobs in the metal fabrication industry. Students will have an opportunity to obtain entry-level skills in various welding processes. The program is designed to teach skills needed to pass the Oklahoma Department of Labor Certification Test for Welders, and most major companies' code tests. Welding practice is done on structural steel, plate, and pipe. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are welded with some processes. Blueprint reading for welders, simple layout and fabrication are also part of the program. Instruction in the various welding processes includes: oxy-fuel welding and cutting, shielded metal arc welding, plate and pipe, gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding, math for welders, as well as safety and the proper use of tools. Students will learn the skills necessary to gain employment in the industrial, construction, or agricultural fields.
