They then were given a class on set up of the MIG welding machines and giventime to practice welding on coupons. After they felt sufficiently comfortable with their skills, thestudents began to shape the horseshoes under the guidance of a technician. The technicians wereallowed to alter the students designs, if they felt welding would be too complicated. The studentsthen welded the pieces together creating a completed design to take home.

Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks:  Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.  Identify your backup plan – “safety” school, work, volunteering
