Introduction

Arc and Gas welding is one of the elective vocational subjects offered in the
upper secondary school under the Secondary School Integrated Curriculum
(KBSM). Pupils learning this subject will master the skills of cutting and joining
metals by using arc and gas welding as well as MIG welding. This is an
expansion of the Integrated Living Skills subject which was learnt in lower
secondary. Arc and Gas welding is part of the Ministry of Educations effort to
prepare pupils to become competent workforce especially in the manufacturing
industry. It is hoped that they will practise positive attitude and be alert of welding
technology development.

In this subject, pupils will master the skills in metal welding through three
methods which are arc, gas and MIG welding. By applying the basic principles,
pupils can practice their skills in cutting, joining, identifying and overcoming the
welding defects. Pupils will also be able to use and maintain various welding
equipment and machines. Other than using heat transfer welding works, pupils
will also gain experience in metal fabrication works. Through their career project,
pupils are given the opportunities to design and repair the metal-based materials.
Safety precautions are always emphasized in welding.

This subject is specially designed for pupils who are interested in welding. The
skills and experiences gained will enable them to pursue their career as welders
in manufacturing, petrochemical,and shipping industries or starting their own
business.

Aim

The aim of this subject is to produce skilled pupils especially in cutting, forming
and welding using the arc and gas welding techniques, as well as to produce
pupils with healthy working habit, positive working attitude and able to contribute
in the manufacturing industry.

Objective

Arc and Gas welding subject enables pupils to:-

1. Cut, form and join metal by using arc, gas and MIG welding

2. Form and join metal fabrication work

3. Install, set and use welding equipment

4. Cut pieces of metal in straight and oblique forms by using oxyacetylene


gas cutting torch

CONTENT ORGANISATION

Arc and Gas Welding subject is divided into six learning areas. Each area is
divided into one learning unit which comprises of several topics. The list and
descriptions of the six learning areas are as follow:

1. Workplace Management

In this area, pupils will be introduced to various welding processes and


career prospects. They are trained to practise safety precautions during
welding activities. Besides that, they must possess good working ethics,
follow the rules and regulations. They must also conserve the environment
where welding is concerned. Pupils need to do stock inventory and
maintain all equipment and machines used.
