Abstract

This research explores the enhancement of technical competency in naval engine systems through industry-based learning approaches within maritime vocational education. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study involved two participant groups: experienced maritime professionals with over 20 years of sea service who now serve in managerial, advisory, and auditing roles in port and shipping industries, and ten vocational lecturers with sea-going experience and extensive teaching expertise in marine engineering. Findings revealed a substantial gap between classroom-based theoretical instruction and the practical realities of engine room operations. Contributing factors include outdated curricula, limited industry engagement in teaching processes, and insufficient access to real-life engine room practice. Both professionals and educators highlighted the urgency of integrating experiential learning models to align educational outcomes with industry demands. The study emphasizes the need for curriculum reform grounded in real-world operations, competency-based assessment methods, and structured mentorship from industry practitioners. By bridging the disconnect between institutional instruction and shipboard operations, this research contributes a strategic framework for developing adaptive, skilled, and industry-ready maritime graduates in engine systems.

Abstract

This research investigates ship machinery maintenance and control systems within maritime transportation vocational schools, focusing on integrating practical experiences and stakeholder perspectives. Qualitative data from maritime professionals, educators, and senior cadets highlight the importance of predictive maintenance strategies and advanced technologies such as IoT and AI in enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. The study identifies a skills gap among professionals, emphasising the need for continuous training to bridge this divide. Longitudinal internship analysis reveals significant skill development and practical knowledge acquisition among senior cadets, underscoring the effectiveness of experiential learning in vocational education. Furthermore, a transdisciplinary approach elucidates trends in sustainability integration, promoting eco-friendly practices and economic resilience within maritime operations. The findings advocate for curriculum updates that align with industry demands, preparing graduates for sustainable and competitive careers in the evolving maritime sector.
