The Pipe WeldingTechnology program provides students with introductory skills in one of thelargest sectors within welding in the central valley. Students will learn advanced procedures inShielded Metal Arc Welding, Flux Cored Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding,and Gas Metal Arc Welding of pipe and tube. In addition students will learn basic layout and fitting as well as theimportance of making safety an intrical part of their everyday work.
With the addition of classes and the change in format of the program. It is projected that the program will enroll an additional 48 to 55 students per year with approximately 40 to 45 projected to complete.
