The club meetings also give it's student the chance to come together as a group and participate in campus activities. All these topics and more are all discussed and voted on in the meetings. We also provide pizza lunch during many of the meetings. The Metal Fabrication and Welding club offers a variety of shop projects that provide it's volunteer club members the opportunity to reinforce and develop their skill as a General Metal Fabrication Technician, Welder, and Sheet Metal Mechanic, which generates funds to support the club and earn cool metal fabrication club gear.
