Machinery and Technology, Transportation Education, Senior Cadets, CurriculumAbstract
This research explores the integration of machinery and technology in transportation education, focusing on senior cadets in engineering and technology institutions. Through qualitative research methods, including interviews and document analysis, the study examines cadets' perceptions, experiences, and challenges in machinery and technology education. The findings highlight a discrepancy between the current emphasis on traditional mechanical principles and the industry's focus on emerging technologies. Cadets express enthusiasm for learning about new technologies but also frustration with the lack of practical experience. Recommendations for improvement include updating curriculum, increasing hands-on practical training, and strengthening industry-academic partnerships. Integrating sustainability principles and promoting innovation and entrepreneurship are also recommended to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of education in transportation. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of machinery and technology education in transportation and offers insights for improving educational practices to meet the demands of the modern transportation industry.
