Welding and Fabrication (WE)
This is a one-year program that teaches students various welding and cutting processes: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), spot welding, oxy-fuel welding, brazing, plasma cutting and carbon arc gouging. Fabrication tools used include the drill press, shears, power shears, benders, brakes, and CNC plasma cutters. Students will use metal-working, welding, and cutting processes to fabricate projects. Students who have successfully completed year one and are interested in Advanced Learning may apply for a 2nd year in Welding or enroll in another MOCC Program to add to their technical skill-set. The second year is for senior students and entrance is by application only. The WE Advanced Skills during the 2nd year will focus on Work Based Learning (WBL), Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs, and/or more in-depth welding processes. Students may earn the following certifications: American Welding Society (ASW) Sense Level 1 and Qualification Record of Welding (4 different welds).
Congratulations to our MOCC Welding Program for being selected as the winners of the DEWALT Grow the Trades Classroom Makeover!
Recently, our welding program submitted an application video showcasing our students’ passion, skills, and dedication to the trades — and it paid off in a BIG way! The program received a complete classroom transformation valued at $15,000, including upgraded DEWALT hand tools, power tools, storage solutions, and more.
This incredible opportunity will help to continue providing students with hands-on experience using industry-quality equipment as they prepare for future careers in the skilled trades.
