Course Description

This course Welding course introduces the welding to the students in virtual reality
experience in a safe and realistic environment. This course first of all highlights the risks
and hazards associated with welding to reduce injuries. Then explain the important of
how to select the appropriate personal protective equipment for welding to recognize
and follow safe work practice. This course explains what are virtual reality and the key
benefits of virtual reality in welding training. Operate and setup welding simulation
machine for SMAW. Operate and setup Welding simulation machine for GMAW

Pre-requisites NIL
