Recommendation Report

It has recently come to my attention that due to your programs unprecedented success and commitment to student learning and work in the community, that your welding program at Niagara college has been given a grant of $5,000 and I as a student would like to make a recommendation of putting the money towards setting up a new part in your program where we will be able to weld out side in the elements with a small group of people and know what it would be like to weld on a job site.

In order to achieve this the main piece of equipment that I recommend to buy are new light weight welding machines that are easy to set up on a new work site and could be used anywhere with a plug near by. I would also advise not to …show more content…

With the space out side the shops doors there is more than enough room to build the structure and because of its design the structure is free standing and has no need to be in one spot and can be moved around. The materials that will be used in this work area are three W 10 x 22 lb (10.17" x .240" web x 5.75") 10 ft Structural Steel H Beams [1].

This machine would be great for all around working out side and on a wide variety of
