Incorporating virtual reality (VR) technology into training environments has been effective as it allows training to remain safe, efficient, and meaningful. Welding training is no exception, with research highlighting benefits such as decreased welder anxiety, increased cost- and time-efficiency, reduction in material usage, and advanced levels of skill acquisition. Our research aims to provide meaningful and experiential learning to beginner welders, equipping them with entry-level welding skills while identifying their professional development needs by employing various parameter cues using the Lincoln Electric VRTEX 360+ dual user virtual reality welding training simulator. This four-week study was completed at [University] and replicated three times. Undergraduate students (N = 108) enrolled in [Course], randomized into one of three sequence training groups, served as our participants. All participants performed single-pass 2F welds using the Gas Metal Arc Welding process. On average, results indicate the most difficult parameter to master was travel speed while the least challenging parameter was contact-to-workpiece-distance. Assessing the three sequence training groups individually, we find that the travel speed parameter is consistently the most difficult to master; however, as participants' welding experience increased so did their welding parameter scores.
