Welding is all around us. From microchips to oil rigs, from satellite to automobiles - welding holds our world together. Welding is the most efficient and economical joining technology in use today.
- In construction, where steel is used for its design flexibility and economic advantages
- In transportation – from cars to spacecraft – where strength and weight savings are vital
- In manufacturing, where cost-effectiveness and reliability are vital
Welding is a process vital to the health of our economy, and it makes an important and sizable contribution to the nation’s growth. For our welding industry to remain competitive in this new economy, the society has focused on providing Education and Training for its members.
Education in the welding technology and related fields is required to train the next generation of welding engineers, weld designers, welding supervisors and technicians, welding inspectors and welders. Education is one of the keys to our success and progress.
