“…The students require an innovative approach to learning which include step-by-step instructions which enable them to operate the welding equipment effectively. According to Oz et al (2012), students must have the knowledge, skills, training, and experience in welding joints. In addition, students need a comprehensive learning approach in channeling knowledge based on the curriculum needs and also to facilitate the students during revision.…”

All Mechanical Engineering students studying in Malaysian polytechnics have to take welding as a core subject. They will learn the basic theory in the classroom and proceed with instruction-based training in the workshop. With limited learning time in the classroom, students find it difficult to follow and understand everything that has been taught. Furthermore, welding is dangerous for beginners and the environment is hazardous to health. If students are not well prepared before going to the workshop, this might jeopardize themselves as well as the welding equipment. To help students be better prepared, a supplementary learning method is needed and the Mobile Arc Welding app has been introduced to them. A study has been conducted to determine whether the app contributes to the students’ learning process. The study was carried out among 67 mechanical engineering students of a polytechnic. The analysis involved Pearson Correlation and Regression in determining the impact of engagement, ease of use, learnability, satisfaction and usefulness on students’ motivation through the use of a welding app. The findings show that there are empirically positive and substantial correlations between motivation and engagement, satisfaction, and usefulness. However, there was no evidence of a positive and significant relationship between ease of use and learnability and welding learning motivation.

“…As one of many educational technologies emerging over prior decades (Saettler, 2004), simulator technologies for teaching and learning have been developed for and used in various contexts, including: (1) medicine (Cope & Fenton-Lee, 2008;Gallagher et al, 2003;Gor, McCloy, Stone, & Smith, 2003;Kilmon, Brown, Ghosh, & Mikitiuk, 2010;Kneebone, 2005;Seymour et al, 2002), (2) mine safety training (Filigenzi, Orr, & Ruff, 2000), (3) welding (Abrams, Schow, & Riedel, 1974;Byrd, 2014;Byrd, Stone, Anderson, & Woltjer, 2015;Oz, Ayar, Serttas, Iyibilgin, Soy, & Cit, 2012;Stone, McLaurin, Zhong, & Watts, 2013;Stone, Watts, Zhong, & Wei, 2011;White, Prachyabrued, Chambers, Borst, & Reinders, 2011), (4) education (Agnew & Shinn, 1990;Nadolny, Woolfrey, Pierlott, & Kahn, 2013;Perritt, 1984), and (5) first responder training (Bliss, Tidwell, & Guest, 1997). Thiagarajan (1998) described a simulation as "a representation of the features and behaviors of one system through the use of another" (p. 35).…”

Simulator technologies such as virtual reality (VR) can serve as practical tools in the educational process. VR technology applications can be effectively used for weld process training. Weld process training can often be found in university-level agricultural education settings. We sought to determine if using a VR technology application within the context of a one-hour-long gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process training impacted welding skill performance as determined by certified welding inspectors (CWIs) who used a weld evaluation rubric based on American Welding Society (AWS) standards. One-hundred-and-one students from Iowa State University participated in our study. Participants were randomly placed into one of four protocol groups: (1) 100% live welding, (2) 100% VR welding, (3) 50% live welding / 50% VR welding, or (4) 50% VR welding / 50% live welding. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated there were no statistically significant differences (p > .05) in total weld scores between participants in the four training protocol groups. We recommend this study be replicated.

“…For these reasons, training in manual welding is indispensable in the shipbuilding industry. However, training welders typically requires a long period of time [6,7]-approximately more than 3 years. Therefore, in this study, we focused on developing a training device for welding.…”

Welding is one of the forms of nonautomated, heavy labor used in the shipbuilding industry. In the shipbuilding process, the hull is first welded by an industrial automatic welding machine, then irregular welded part correction and welding in narrow places that machines cannot reach are performed by welding workers. Welding operators are required to weld indeterminate objects in narrow working spaces. In addition, it is difficult to perform high-quality welding because the ability to accurately trace a welding line at a constant speed requires a long training period. In this research, a welding training device that assists trainees in skill acquisition was developed. The proposed device, which comprises two magnetorheological (MR) brakes, renders a welding path and restricts welding speed. The MR brakes have a response speed comparable to that of powder brakes, have a high output-to-weight ratio, and are also considered to be suitable for use in welding training devices. A prototype and control strategy were developed, and the performance of the device in actual welding work was evaluated. Results shows that path rendering strategy is possible to present routes with an accuracy of 1 mm or better and speed control strategy can regulate the speed required for welding.
