Metal Fabrication

Metal Fabrication students learn skills that include creating different shapes using metal, sheet metal and plastic processing. In a diverse field, students will experience different types of welding such as: oxygen-acetylene welding, arc welding, inert gas process and resistances welding which are the tools that are needed to work within the metal fabrication field. At the conclusion of student’s sophomore year, they will concentrate on their selected program.

Career Paths

  • Mechanical Engineer
  • Civil Engineer
