Abstract

This community engagement program aims to enhance the technical competencies of students in a vocational education institution through the application of Total Station technology for contour measurement. The initiative was designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and modern field surveying practices by integrating structured training, intensive mentoring, and digital mapping tools. A total of 30 geomatics students participated in the program, engaging in instrument familiarization, field measurement exercises, and data processing using CAD-based mapping software. The training adopted an experiential learning model with a learning-by-doing approach, supported by digital modules and instructional video tutorials. Evaluation results show substantial improvements in student competencies: 85% of participants were able to operate the Total Station independently, 70% processed survey data digitally, and 80% produced contour maps of acceptable quality. The program also generated a digital learning module as a sustainable output. These findings demonstrate that integrating Total Station technology into vocational education effectively improves students’ understanding of topography, spatial data analysis skills, and industry-oriented work readiness.

Abstract

Scientific writing is an essential competency for vocational students, enabling them to engage with academic literacy demands and adapt to the evolving expectations of the modern workforce. At SMKN 1 Tana Toraja, students’ scientific writing skills remain limited, as reflected in their difficulties understanding article structure, applying citation techniques, and conducting proper literature searches. This community service program was implemented to address these challenges through structured training combined with continuous mentoring. The program introduced participants to the fundamentals of academic writing, guided them in developing article outlines, provided instruction on identifying credible references, and trained them to use reference management tools such as Mendeley. Students also received step-by-step assistance in refining their drafts until completion. The learning approach emphasized hands-on practice, allowing participants to experience the writing process directly and progressively. Program effectiveness was assessed through pre-test and post-test evaluations, which revealed a 42% improvement in students’ conceptual understanding. Additionally, 78% of participants successfully completed scientific manuscripts that met expected academic standards. The program produced a digital writing module and audiovisual materials that can serve as sustainable learning resources. Overall, this initiative significantly strengthened students’ academic literacy skills and encouraged the development of a productive writing culture within the vocational education environment.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve the entrepreneurial skills of students at SMK Negeri 5 Majene through training in the use of Geodetic GPS. Although this school has shown positive development in vocational education, the entrepreneurial aspect still needs strengthening, especially in the utilization of the latest technology. The training was designed to provide students with a practical understanding of Geodetic GPS applications in business contexts, such as land mapping and area mapping management. The implementation of activities includes the preparation of training materials, workshops, and evaluation of training results. The results showed an increase in student competence in using Geodetic GPS for entrepreneurship, although there were constraints related to the availability of tools and activity schedules. This program succeeded in improving technology-based business skills among students and is expected to support them in facing an increasingly digital world of work.

Abstract

The use of coconut shells as a material for making household crafts has become a common practice in many tropical regions around the world. Coconut shells, the hard outer part of the coconut fruit, have a strong and durable texture, making them an ideal material for various types of craft products. One of the most common examples of coconut shell use is the production of cups, ladles, and ashtrays. Overall, the use of coconut shells as a material for creating household crafts such as cups, ladles, and ashtrays not only supports sustainable recycling practices but also creates unique products that showcase the beauty of nature. Skilled and creative artisans can produce a wide range of useful and attractive items from coconut shells, making them a valuable part of local culture and the craft industry.

Abstract

Training on the Use of Geodetic GPS is a form of community service aimed at enhancing the technical competencies of vocational high school students in the field of surveying and mapping. Amid the rapid advancement of geospatial technologies, vocational schools face significant challenges in providing training based on modern equipment, resulting in a skills gap between graduates’ competencies and industry demands. This initiative was motivated by the low proficiency of students in operating modern geospatial measurement tools, which are increasingly essential in the professional field. The community service activity was conducted in partnership with SMK Negeri 1 Takalar, targeting 11th and 12th grade students of the Building Information Design and Modeling (DPIB) program. The training employed an experiential learning approach, consisting of concise theoretical instruction, field practice, and a mini-project involving the creation of maps using GPS-based data. A pre-post test evaluation method was explicitly used to assess improvements in students’ knowledge and skills before and after the training. The results showed a significant increase in the understanding of basic GNSS concepts and in students' abilities to collect and process coordinate data. Post-test scores improved by 63% compared to pre-test results, and all student groups successfully completed an independent simple mapping project. This activity also boosted students’ confidence and had a positive impact on their job readiness. The results indicate that hands-on training is highly effective in bridging the competency gap between vocational education and industry requirements, and that this approach should be further developed through a more comprehensive series of training programs.
