PURPOSE To evaluate each contestant’s preparation for employment and to recognize outstanding students for excellence and professionalism in the field of welding fabrication. PROJECTA-frame for tools The Welding Fabrication competition for Utah Skills USA will be in person this year. The project will help better the National Skills USA and will be on display at all future Natl. welding fabrication competitions. Each team shall build the same project as set forth in the prints given on the day of competition. Being that this project will be seen and used by the Natl. contest extra scrutiny will be paid to fit and finish. As always welds need to be judged prior to grinding. The project drawing will be provided the day of the competition. However, teams shall submit a set of drawings of a project they would like to build in a future competition. Also, a single page essay shall be submitted to the welding fabrication committee (see requirements below). The teams shall cut materials to size per bill of materials. It must be in as-milled condition. Teams shall bring the parts cut to the size and labeled as specified in the bill of materials to orientation. Team Project Outcomes:
