Southeastern Louisiana University

Are you interested in working in one of the most needed fields in manufacturing today?? Everything you see and use is influenced by welding. Anything made of metal, no matter how big or small, can be welded. From vehicles to bridges, buildings, aircraft, rockets, robotics and even NASCAR, everything has been improved by welding. This four day workshop is an introductory hands-on approach to many welding and cutting processes. Students will cut and weld using Oxyfuel cutting, Oxyfuel Welding, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick), Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), and Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW). Students will learn safety, setup of equipment, selection of consumables, and welding in the flat and horizontal positions. Students will be tested using American Welding Society Structural Welding Standards.
