Abstract
A computer-based welding training system to be used in welding shops has been developed to facilitate and to substantially enhance the basic skills in shielded metal arc welding. The process is begun by creating a tool that captures the skill performance from the intermediates group into coded knowledge. Afterwards a software tool shows how to transfer knowledge by using the principles of learning feedback. Sixty novices were assigned to use the training system with the Tweld welding position. The results show that novices could significantly increase their welding skills after using the feedback in arc length, work angle and travel angle, while the performance of welding speed is unimproved, all the three inspectors rated the quality of welding in feedback group higher than non-feedback group. ฉ INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING.
