Abstract:

Welded joints are of great importance in industrial engineering studies. These joints are widely used in various fields of industry, such as manufacturing, construction, and machinery production. However, it is crucial to consider the environmental impacts associated with the fabrication of these types of joints. Welding laboratory practices in engineering schools are essential for students to acquire technical and specific knowledge regarding the design of these joints. However, the development of these practices often generates significant environmental impacts that can affect the environment and human health.

The fumes and gases released during the welding process (CO2, CO, and NOx) and the particulate matter generated during the welding process can contribute to air pollution and pose risks to the health of teachers and students involved in the practices. However, by adopting sustainable welding practices and optimizing process parameters to minimize energy consumption, it is possible to reduce the environmental impact of welding laboratory practices, making them safer and cleaner.

This work showcases the coordination of welded joint practices in engineering schools with the aim of reducing environmental impacts and promoting the learning of engineering students. It includes both theoretical and practical aspects of welding, as well as the associated environmental impacts.
