Best practice guideline monitoring change in attitudes, knowledge and skills during the national pilots.
Demands on the modern mechanical designers are increasing and the fields of knowledge they must cover are many. The designers must decide what conditions a product must be able to meet, which material to be used and how the welding process can affect the structures in the form of welding residual stresses or deformations caused by weld shrinkage. They also need to consider the possibilities and limitations of production unit as well as the manufacturing costs.
Two pilot short-term hybrid work-based course were performed during April – June 2023 in Växjö and Finspång in Sweden to monitor the change in attitude, knowledge, and skill of participants and teachers. The aim was to develop a best practice guideline for a work-based training and further develop the learning material and lessons.
