"We spend a tremendous percentage of our income toward research and
development," explained Emmerson of Magnatech. "The continuation of tax
credits for small company R&D would be beneficial. We note that several of
the Canadian provinces are very aggressive in nurturing technical innovation
and the growth of small companies, and allow virtually all R&D expenditures
to be written off against income. I believe there would be an explosion of
new development and company growth if any of the state governments
undertook similar tax credit programs."
- What has to be done in the future to keep the welding industry healthy?
More than 50% of the respondents believe improving the image of
welding so top students will be drawn to the industry and bettering training
methods for welders and welding engineers are the keys to welding's future.
We need to "totally revise the public education system in the United
States to acknowledge the trades as an acceptable alternative for students,"
according to Connell of Detroit Edison. This echoed the opinion of David
Yapp, team leader, arc welding and automation, Edison Welding Institute,
who said there needs to be "a radical change in education at all levels." He
added, however, "This is not likely to happen without strong leadership and
commitment."
In fact, respondents touched on a variety of aspects related to training -
all with an eye toward welding's future. In the opinion of Jackie Morris,
quality manager at Bender Shipbuilding & Repair Co., Inc., the level of
cooperation between manufacturers and schools must improve so that
manufacturers' needs are met. Genesis' O'Connell said the welding industry
needs to do two things: "Enhance ease of use through technical training and
technology advancement," and "concentrate on making welding the low cost,
best performance choice for material joining." For the question regarding
welding's weaknesses, Anderson stated it's "often not scientifically applied,
which leads to overdesigned weldments and process parameters that are not
optimized." Anderson touched on the topic again in answer to the above
question, when he said, we must "continue to educate students on the basics
of the process and how to implement it. (We must) teach the economics of
welding to designers so they understand the costs of a weld."
Respondents also mentioned improved salaries for welders, staying
ahead of environmental and health issues and more practical research and
development as ways the welding industry can help itself stay healthy.
- Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of your particular
industry?
