Abstract

The advancement of automotive technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era requires vocational education graduates to possess updated competencies aligned with industry standards. This study investigates the gap between the competencies of students in the Automotive Engineering Education Program at Universitas Negeri Medan and the needs of the automotive industry. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, involving interviews, observations, and document analysis with stakeholders from academia and industry. The findings reveal a significant misalignment, particularly in digital automotive systems, computer-based diagnostics, and soft skills such as communication and problem-solving. The study highlights the need for curriculum revision, integration of industry-based learning practices, and enhanced collaboration between educational institutions and industry partners to ensure graduate readiness in meeting modern automotive demands.

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing students’ interest in pursuing industrial careers within the Vocational Education and Automotive Technology Program at Universitas Lancang Kuning Pekanbaru. Using a quantitative approach and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), data were collected from 74 students across three academic levels. The analysis identified two dominant dimensions: external factors (job opportunities, parental support, industry collaboration) and internal factors (personal interest, technological proficiency, practical experience), which together explained 77.135% of the variance. Variables such as industrial prestige and work environment were excluded due to low significance. The findings emphasize that industrial career interest is shaped by both institutional support and individual readiness. These results provide valuable insights for enhancing vocational education strategies through better stakeholder collaboration and targeted curriculum development.

Abstract

This study investigates the mechanical performance of coconut coir fiber-reinforced composites with volume fractions of 30% and 40%, fabricated using the Manual Hand Lay-Up method. Specimens were tested under three-point bending following ASTM D790-03 to evaluate flexural strength. Results show that composites with a 30% fiber volume exhibit superior bending strength and stiffness compared to those with 40%, indicating a more optimal fiber–matrix ratio. The reduction in performance at higher fiber content is attributed to uneven resin distribution and inadequate fiber impregnation. These findings highlight the potential of coconut coir as a sustainable reinforcement material and emphasize the importance of optimizing fiber volume and manufacturing methods. The study recommends the use of alternative fabrication techniques, such as vacuum infusion, to improve resin homogeneity and mechanical reliability, particularly for structural and lightweight composite applications.

Abstract

The present research aims to demonstrate the enhancement of students' learning outcomes through the utilization of a smart trainer in conjunction with a QR code. This intelligent trainer is designed to display the voltage output values of each sensor on the motorcycle. Additionally, each sensor is designated a QR code, enabling students to comprehend the function of each sensor's performance and verify the theoretical principles linked with the corresponding QR code during practice. The educational method is implemented offline, comprising four sessions in phase F of the Merdeka curriculum. The cohort comprised 20 participants, consisting of 5 educators and 15 learners. The assessment results indicate that student learning outcomes enhanced following the provision of materials.

Abstract

This paper presents data from the ambient air quality monitoring of Padang City and its implications for sustainable development public policy. Urban growth and transportation and industrial activities have the potential to increase nitrogen gas emissions. Air monitoring was conducted at strategic locations in Padang City that represent anthropogenic activities. The nitrogen gas concentration data obtained were analyzed descriptively and spatially to identify the level of pollutants in the air. Monitoring results were linked to sustainable development indicators, particularly those related to public health (SDG 3) and cities and settlements (SDG 11). This paper aims to provide input for policy makers to strategize the sustainable development of Padang city.

Abstract

One of the driving components of electric vehicles that are often used is Brushless (BLDC) motors which have advantages such as high efficiency, large torque density, and precise speed control. This study aims to evaluate the effect of variations in permanent magnet type and stator winding configuration on the performance of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Two types of permanent magnets, NdFe35 and SmCo24, are compared based on their electromagnetic characteristics, such as torque, rotational speed, efficiency, and current consumption. In additional, the stator winding parameters were varied, including wire diameters between 1.3 mm and 1.6 mm and the number of conductors per slot between 14 and 23. The simulation results conducted using ANSYS Maxwell show that the configuration combining NdFe35, an optimal number of 14 conductors per slot, and a large wire diameter of 1.6 mm delivers the best performance, with a maximum torque of 325 Nm, maximum power of 2.91 kW, efficiency of 79%, and a speed of 1241.5 rpm. Although the current consumption is high, the resulting power and torque performance are proportional.
