<![CDATA[The development of digital technology requires higher vocational education, particularly in engineering, to emphasize practical competency and independent learning. This study aims to analyze active engagement as a mediator in the relationship between technological competency and practical modules on learning satisfaction, motivation, and self-regulated learning. The study used a quantitative-correlation approach with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis technique on 80 electrical engineering students, Surabaya State University (Unesa) who were selected using purposive sampling. The results showed that technological competence had a significant effect on active involvement (? = 0.291; p 0.01) and motivation (? = 0.276; p 0.05). The practical module has a significant effect on learning satisfaction, active engagement is the most potent factor influencing learning satisfaction, motivation, and self-regulated learning. Active engagement as a crucial mediating mechanism within the technology-enhanced learning framework is related to engagement-driven learning through collaborative projects, problem-based learning, and digital simulations. These findings are relevant to contributing to the digital transformation of vocational education and the needs of the renewable energy industry.]]>
