Metal Fabrication and Welding

DrumsetDozerBikeStrongPipeRaptorTigWeld

The Metal Fabrication and Welding program is designed to prepare students to be skilled fabricators, welders, and sheet metal workers. Instruction includes a range of skill areas, including welder performance qualification tests, small business ownership, sheet metal duct work, creative blacksmithing, ornamental ironwork, and CNC plasma cutting. Since welding is the core of our program, students can expect to learn all facets of welding in structural steel construction, earth moving equipment repair, pipe-line welding, and orbital welding of stainless steel and titanium for biotech applications. In addition to developing a solid foundation in technical skills, the program emphasizes core values, including community service and good citizenship.

Field trips are an integral part of the curriculum in Metal Fabrication. Visits to apprenticeship programs, job sites, local businesses, and colleges show the students their futures in the field. Our students also have the opportunity to enter numerous regional/national welding and creative metal art competitions. This program has proudly produced many champions.

Students who wish to continue their technical metal working education can attend two- or four-year colleges in the metallurgy, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and metal art areas of study.

Course Offerings:
  • Welder Performance Qualification Tests in the following:

    • Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / Stick)

    • Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW / Mig)
