METAL WELDING TRAINING FOR SKILLS PROVISION FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION STUDENTS, PALANGKA RAYA UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Community empowerment activities in general aim to form individuals and communities to become independent. Independence is a condition experienced by a person which is characterized by the ability to think, decide and do something that is deemed appropriate in order to achieve solving the problems faced by using the power/ability possessed. The training activities aim to equip participants with metal welding skills. The activity was carried out at the Mechanical Engineering Education Laboratory, FKIP UPR. The purpose of these activities is in line with the higher education functions and objectives mandated in Law no. 12 of 2012 Article 4 paragraph 3; namely to "Develop Science and Technology by paying attention to and applying the values of Humanities". With this activity, it is hoped that participants will have more knowledge about metal welding. The training methods used are lectures with presentation techniques, direct guided practice and evaluation.
