Lesson Guidance

Lecture course | To "develop" knowledge into skills

Overview of the course

In this course, students are to "develop" the basics of heat treatment in a classroom setting. The focus is on learning a wide range of subjects from kinds of steels to inspection methods for heat treatment in general.

<This course is intended for>
Those who learn about heat treatment for the first time (new employees)
Those who receive inquiries from users about heat treatment
Those who are receiving heat treatment orders
Those who need the knowledge of heat treatment for designing

Minimum number of people required: 10
