Specifically, this program focuses on two areas of industry certification;  Structural Steel and Pipe Welding.  Additionally, students get experience in Print Reading and Project Fabrication.  Students completing this course of study are well prepared for a variety of fabrication opportunities locally, statewide as well as nationally.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Demonstrate proper safety practices when working in a welding environment\n2.  Apply integrated knowledge with incremental skill improvement resulting in functional application of welding techniques.\n3.  Use proper hand, measuring and layout tools to fabricate welding projects.\n4.  Apply academic skills in reading, mathematics, chemistry and physics to the application of welding skills.\n5.  Demonstrate work attributes that contribute to personal success and contribute to the goals of the company or organization for which one is employed."
