The high-tech Welding Technology program focuses on welding processes performed in all positions on both plate and pipe. You will learn proper safety methods, required math, related skills, layout and fit up, welding codes and standards, welding inspection, testing, and drawing/welding symbol interpretation. The first year, students will complete AWS Level I standards for an entry level welder. The second year will take students toward AWS Levels II and III—advanced welder and expert welder. Additional techniques, such as high-pressure vessel, high-pressure pipe, and ship fitting will be taught, as well as other advanced welding techniques. The welding technology program is taught according to the standards set by the American Welders Society (AWS) and is AWS-certified.

Electrical Construction and Maintenance Electrician (AOS)
Taught by SUNY Alfred State College faculty
x
The Electrical Construction and Maintenance Electrician program provides in-depth instruction in the theories and principles of electricity. Principles of operation for electrical devices and equipment, and correct and safe operation of tools are covered. You will study and learn to interpret and apply the requirements of the National Electric Code for designing electrical layouts, installation methods, and the maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of electrical circuits and equipment. Practical (hands-on) application of the classroom theory is the main emphasis of the laboratory work. Approximately one-third of lab time is spent on actual work sites, gaining real-life work experience. In your senior year, you will create completely automated projects in the lab using PLCs, pneumatics, electronics, and process controls.
