Abstract

The integration of computer-based simulations in electrical engineering education enhances students' understanding of complex concepts such as Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) and Geometric Mean Distance (GMD) in transmission line systems. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a MATLAB-based simulation tool to support learning in voltage regulation and efficiency analysis. Adopting a Research and Development (RD) methodology guided by the ADDIE model, the simulation was tested with 32 electrical engineering students. Expert validation, conducted by three power systems professors and two instructional technology specialists, confirmed high content validity (average score 85%). Data analysis using SmartPLS revealed that simulation quality significantly influenced both conceptual understanding (β = 0.903) and learning effectiveness (β = 0.977), with strong model fit (R² = 0.846). Students’ comprehension of voltage regulation and efficiency improved significantly, as indicated by N-gain scores of 0.75 and 0.72, respectively, while parameter analysis proficiency rose from 42.8% to 80.7%. These findings suggest that the simulation tool not only enhances academic learning but also offers industrial benefits. Specifically, it provides power utilities with a cost-effective means to optimize transmission line designs, reducing iteration costs by up to 60%. It also enables rapid prototyping of conductor configurations and serves as a standardized platform for professional training. Furthermore, the tool supports sustainable energy efforts by improving the integration of renewable energy sources through optimized line parameter analysis.

Abstract

This research examines the integration of the concept of electrical conductivity in the Measurement and Instrumentation course through a soil fertility monitoring tool. Using a mixed methods approach, the study involved 30 third-year Electrical Engineering students who engaged with a specially designed soil monitoring system as a learning medium and practicum tool. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in student understanding, with the mean test score increasing from 42.3 (SD = 8.7) in the pre-test to 78.5 (SD = 9.5) in the post-test (p 0.001, η² = 0.61). Practical skills assessment showed that 83% of students achieved proficiency in tool calibration, while 90% successfully integrated electrical conductivity data with other parameters. Qualitative findings showed an increase in student engagement, with 92% reporting an increase in learning motivation. This implementation resulted in three main outcomes: improved theoretical understanding through hands-on experience, improved technical measurement skills, and the development of an interdisciplinary perspective linking engineering to agricultural applications. The findings suggest that integrating real-world applications into engineering education can significantly improve technical competence and practical skills, providing a model for curriculum development in other engineering disciplines. This study offers valuable insights for engineering educators who want to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications in measurement and instrumentation courses.
