Lightbulb Welded Box Tube

Our team is making an assembly that consists of welded Aluminum box tube. The box tube is 1.5 outside wall 1/16” thick wall square. This frame will have several 45-degree joints.

My question was regarding how to weld an assembly like this. We are taking it to the shop at our local college. They do questionable work some of the time and I was wondering if any of you had any tips on what to tell them or any ideas on making it stronger.
