Exciting Augmented Reality Welding Experience Captivates DIT Mechanical Engineering Students and Faculty
We are thrilled to share the latest update from the Mechanical Engineering department at DIT, where innovation and hands-on learning continue to be at the forefront of our curriculum. Mariam, one of our talented first-year students, recently had an incredible opportunity to enhance her welding skills using the cutting-edge SoldaMatic welder training simulator. Under the guidance of Dr. Mabala, the esteemed head of welding and fabrication training, Mariam and her fellow students embarked on an Augmented Reality (AR) welding experience that has taken their learning journey to new heights. The integration of AR technology into our welding training has revolutionized the way our students engage with and master this essential skill. Dr. Mabala and the entire student cohort were thoroughly impressed with the immersive nature of the AR welding sessions. As sparks flew and metal melded, Mariam and her peers navigated a virtual world of welding, gaining practical insights and honing their techniques in a controlled yet dynamic environment. This innovative approach has not only deepened their understanding but also fostered a sense of excitement and curiosity that drives their passion for mechanical engineering. The SoldaMatic welder training simulator, coupled with the expertise of Dr. Mabala, has undoubtedly brought a new dimension to our welding and fabrication training. Augmented Reality has unlocked opportunities for interactive learning that were previously unimaginable, providing our students with a unique edge as they prepare to excel in the world of engineering. We invite you to explore the future of mechanical engineering education at DIT through the eyes of Mariam and her fellow students who wholeheartedly embraced this Augmented Reality welding experience. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push boundaries, embrace innovation, and empower our students to become leaders in their field. For more information about our programs and the transformative experiences we offer, please visit DIT Mechanical Engineering Department. Date: August 2023.

Mining Training Collaboration
We would like to express our gratitude to the Tanzania Chamber of Mines, specifically the Executive Secretary, Benjamin Mchwampaka, and Calvin Mlingi, Chair of the Education and Training Committee, along with Muki Msami, for their exceptional coordination of the recent meeting. During the meeting, we had the opportunity to discuss the future of training in the mining sector. Our focus centered around the flagship training school, IMTT in Moshi, which operates in partnership with VETA. Together, we aim to expand the range of courses offered and collaborate with both national and international awarding bodies. Our objective is to increase the participation of Tanzanian nationals in this crucial sector of the country's economy, where numerous employment opportunities exist.
We are eagerly looking forward to collaborating with all stakeholders involved, as we strive to establish Tanzania as a center of excellence for all mining-related trades. The IMTT flagship project represents a significant milestone, as it marks the first substantial engagement between the industry (TCM) and training providers (VETA) to develop specialized curriculum and courses tailored to meet the specific needs of the mining sector, particularly in the field of technicians. With its prominent position as one of Tanzania's leading technical education centers, we are confident that IMTT will continue to excel.

Welding Revolution in Tanzania
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Principal Mwanda and the dedicated team of trainers from the Mechanics and Welding Faculties at VETA Changombe. This June, we had the privilege of showcasing the remarkable Augmented Reality Welding Simulator equipment, SoldaMatic, provided by Seabery. The experience was truly transformative as we demonstrated various welding techniques, including MIG, TIG, and SMAW, in a virtual environment. We firmly believe that this cutting-edge technology will significantly enhance the learning process for individuals considering a welding career. Moreover, its inclusive design opens doors for individuals who may have previously felt excluded from pursuing such traditionally male-dominated professions, especially women. We are excited about the prospect of collaborating with VETA and its extensive network of training centers across Tanzania to implement this groundbreaking technology. Together, we can revolutionize the welding industry and empower aspiring welders throughout the country.
