Region 10 Program of Studies

Metal Fabrication & Welding

Welding and metal fabrication involve the skilled manipulation and joining of metal components through various techniques like welding, cutting, and bending to create structures, machinery, or artistic pieces. The Metal Fabrication & Welding program immerses students in real-world experiences, equipping them with sought-after certifications vital for employment. With a curriculum focused on practical skills in fabrication, layout, and welding, alongside theory and hands-on practice, students acquire a diverse skill set. Training encompasses various welding forms using state-of-the-art equipment, including Oxyacetylene Cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Pulse M.I.G, Flux-core Welding, and Arc Gouging and Cutting (air arc). Additionally, students are prepared for the AWS Welding Certification Exam.
