In this module of MATSW 301: SMAW on Mild Steel, we will develop the skills and knowledge required to perform Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) on mild steel in a safe, accurate, and efficient manner. The module is divided into three main learning outcomes: preparing for SMAW operations, applying SMAW techniques on mild steel, and carrying out post-operation activities. Trainees will learn how to identify and follow safety procedures, select appropriate tools and materials, interpret technical drawings, set up and operate welding equipment, inspect welds, and properly clean and store equipment. This competency-based training is designed to meet TVET standards and prepare learners for real-world welding tasks.
