Around 100 students from Minnesota and Wisconsin colleges competed in the event held at Minneapolis Community and Technical College.<\/p>\n<p>Students competed in several categories utilizing such welding processes as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and Oxy-acetylene Cutting (OFC). During the timed events students were presented with a blueprint and the metal components required to complete a weldment in 20 minutes. The weldments were then inspected by AWS Certified Welding Inspectors who scrutinized the dimensions, weld size and weld quality.<\/p>\n<p>Each division placed the top three individuals to receive prizes. First place won an auto darkening welding helmet (worth $500) and $100 cash, second place winners earned $50 cash, and third place winners took home $25 cash.<\/p>\n<p>Dunwoody student participants were: Zech Bradach, Ben Browne, Jacob Dommer, Lucas Hoglund, Curtis Mattson-Laurent, Max Mertans, Brendan Pliego, Ollie Reller, Austin Reuter, Kristen Schafer and Nikki Umpleby, Wyatt Werner.<\/p>\n<p>Bradach earned second place in GMAW and third place in SMAW. Reller earned third place in the GMAW division.<\/p>\n<p>Dunwoody Instructor Michael Reeser said he\u2019s proud of his students\u2019 performance in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an excellent opportunity to reinforce the advanced skills that we teach on a daily basis and allows students to apply those skills in a timed event. It motivates students to produce quality work as it is scored by industry-certified welding inspectors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Dunwoody\u2019s Welding Technology program, visit http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/welding-technology\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twelve Welding Technology students participated in the Behind the Mask Welding Competition sponsored by the American Welding Society (AWS) on Feb. 26.
