Welding's final semester, program ends with 2008

Abstract:
The Welding Technology Center at CSM is closing. Instructors are pushing the remaining advanced students to finish projects and to ready themselves for certification testing before time runs out.

The cost of electricity, gas, and metal is too high to maintain the program any further....

That's sorry news. With the great demand for skilled workers world wide I hate to see any program close. I am a CWI/ CWE and was welding educator for 15 years. I was fortunate to have great partners in industry who were able to donate all of the steel for training, reducing the schools expenses. Welding is the most exspensive program to operate due to consumables .I hope the school has looked at all options,including AWS monies avalible for welding education. There is money out there to assist in welding education. Good Luck Rich
