Welding department
Welding Technology provides students with the opportunity to acquire skills, knowledge, and experiences required to pass a standard welding qualification test and pursue a career in an expanding and rewarding technical field. Classroom instruction and laboratory experiences allow students to gain scientific knowledge regarding welding ferrous and nonferrous metals using the processes of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Specialized classes provide students with skills in oxy-fuel cutting, plasma arc cutting, air carbon arc cutting, blueprint reading, weld symbols, and welding inspection and testing. Electrical principles as well as basic academic skills in communication, reading, writing, and mathematics are integral components of the program. Many competitions are won, and many welding careers are started with the Winston County Technical Center Welding Department!
