Expertise Competency Test (UKK) is part of government intervention in ensuring the quality of education in Vocational High School education units. One of the government's efforts to improve students' knowledge and skills, especially for Vocational High Schools, is by holding a skill competency test that determines student graduation. Competency testing is needed to determine a person's ability or competence according to professional standards. To be accepted to work in the world of work, a person must be competent, which is evidenced by, among other things, a competency certificate through a competency test. A person is said to have the competence (competent) in a particular field if he has the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to complete the job correctly by the demands of professionalism. The purpose of implementing this UKK is to measure the competency attainment of Rigomasi Vocational High School students at a certain level according to the expertise of heavy equipment automation engineering majors taken during the learning period at school

Research on Application Adaptability of Big Data and IoT in Discipline Construction of Mechanical Engineering Specialty in Universities

With Industry 4.0 and another round of scientific and technological reform and development, industrial reform and development, the latest economic development, and the escalating complexity of the upcoming problems faced by human beings all over the world, there is an urgent need for cross-compounding between disciplines and disciplines, resulting in emerging engineering majors. In response to these situations, the article analyzes the characteristics, necessity, and main problems faced by the construction and talent cultivation of emerging engineering majors with multidisciplinary cross-composite and discusses the new initiatives of building emerging engineering majors with multidisciplinary cross-composite and innovative talent cultivation to encourage the cultivation of brave exploration and innovation, cultivate innovative talents with unique insights, and promote innovation and breakthroughs in economic, social, and scientific and technological development needs. Finally, the article takes mechanical and electronic engineering as an example to explore how the crossover and integration between several important aspects of the construction of emerging engineering majors are effectively carried out in order to provide certain reference and reference for the construction of related emerging engineering disciplines and majors.

Virtual Experimental Project Design in the Digital Signal Processing Course

This paper proposes the design and development of virtual experimental projects in the Digital Signal Processing course, using MATLAB, Proteus, and CCS platforms to develop a library of typical experimental cases for biomedical engineering majors and discusses the design process. Based on these typical cases, this paper explores the secondary design for innovative engineering practice case teaching, which can promote students’ understanding and mastery of digital signal processing theories, algorithms, and technologies in an intuitive, flexible, and efficient way; quickly build new innovative engineering case models and further cultivate students’ engineering application ability as well as innovative thinking.

Reform of Elastic-Plastic Mechanics and Strength Design of Pipelines Based on Ideological and Political Education

Oil and gas storage and transportation safety courses are very important in oil and gas storage and transportation engineering. With the ideological and political construction of the course in the new period, the mode of professional knowledge teaching cannot meet the teaching requirements. The teaching team has been practicing in the course for many years. By inserting typical characters, typical projects, national policies and industry trends into the course, students' patriotism, academic confidence and environmental protection awareness have been cultivated, and remarkable results have been achieved. At the same time, it can provide some reference for the ideological and political education of engineering majors.

Exploring Rural Engineering Students’ College-Choice Process at Two Land-Grant Universities

This qualitative case study examines the college choice decisions of rural students enrolled in engineering majors to understand what conditions and experiences led rural students to pursue engineering at their institution. We found four themes that help illuminate rural engineering students’ college choice journeys (1) The Inextricable Nature of College, Major, and Career Choice (2) “The Smart Person Thing to Do:” The Power of Prestige, (3) “Are You Sure You Don’t Want to Change your Major?” Dissonance Between Aspirations and Expectations, and (4) School and Community as Crucial Resources in College and Major Exploration. These findings have implications for those working with rural high school students seeking engineering degrees and admissions processes at four-year colleges and universities.

Project-based engineering learning in college: associations with self-efficacy, effort regulation, interest, skills, and performance

This quantitative study examined student participation in an introductory project-based engineering course offered in fully face-to-face and hybrid course modes (N = 160). This course attempted to counteract trends of decreased student motivation and high attrition rates among engineering majors. Mixed-design analysis of variance examined differences in motivational constructs including student self-efficacy, effort regulation, and interest in engineering, as well as engineering skills throughout the course and across instructional modes. None of the motivational constructs were associated with significant decreases throughout the course nor with differences across instructional modes. However, students’ engineering skills increased throughout the course with no significant differences across course modalities. Furthermore, interest in engineering and effort regulation were positively associated with course performance. The instructional modality was not significantly associated with course performance. Overall, this study provides an example of a project-based introductory engineering course which may help maintain student motivation and foster student success in engineering.

Development of “Digital Humanities” as a Liberal Arts Class at University

The purpose of this study is to explore the curriculum and educational contents of four Korean universities that are educating or plan to educate their students in the Digital Humanities, as well as to find and develop Digital Humanities classes suitable for one semester within their liberal arts education classes. As a result of the survey, the four universities were classified according to the affiliation of the students’ subject at each school and the level of programming related to data processing. A and B universities’ Digital Humanities major students were predominantly from liberal arts majors, C universities students consisted both of liberal arts and science and engineering majors, and D universities students’ majors were science and engineering. Universities from group A used basic Google apps and Excel, but D universities used higher-level programming languages. However, Digital Humanities classes at these universities are based on a three-step course: First, education involving basic concepts for Digital Humanities and basic tools for data analysis. Second, search for applicability to Digital Humanities through existing majors. Third, the practical application and creation of the Digital Humanities project. Accordingly, this study sought ways to effectively convey this three-step process in the short period of one semester and devised a detailed lecture outline.
