Increasing Teacher Competency through Training on Non-Destructive Testing Methods for Welding (NDT) for Teachers in Kulonprogo Regency

Abstract

The purpose of this community service is to provide knowledge and skills related to the method of non-destructive testing for welding (NDT). It is expected that all participants will be able to independently carry out non-destructive testing of welding results that will be taught to vocational high school students in Kulon Progo Regency. This community service was conducted through lecture, discussion, simulation, and asssited practice. Those activities were done to make it easier for participants to understand the materials presented. After all the activities were completed, an evaluation was carried out on both the ability and understanding of partners and the evaluation of the activities that have been carried out. The results of this activity show that before participating in the training participants ability related to non-destructive testing of welding results is low. Then, after the program was carried out, there is a significant increase in mastery of the theory and practice of welding testing, ranging from visual testing, penetrant fluids, magnetic tests, to ultrasonic tests.
