The improvements of the welding process and techniques and the various applications which have been done with so fantastic speed in recent years, have had a great effect upon the welding training in the technical high school.
The urgent problem, above all, is to train as many pupils as possible to be the middle class welding engineers. But, it seems difficult to have effect to our purpose, because the present welding training is poor in the technical high school.
In order to judge the present situation, we made inquiries to the welding training centers and various factories concerned, expecting their advice on the welding education.
After studying the data carefully, we came to the following conclusion :
1. To open a lecture on "welding engineering" in the mechanical, metallurgical and ship-building courses in the technical high school.
2. To establish 5-8 welding courses in the technical high schools in our country. The course should have subjects relate to mechanics, metallurgy, electricity and chemistry etc., worthy enough to train the students to be the middle class welding engineers.
