Abstract
This study aims to develop innovative project-based learning resources using the Electric Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) for the Motor Use and Control course in the Electrical Engineering Education Program. The research subjects were undergraduate students. The study was conducted over one year and consisted of three main stages: (1) analysis of learning resource needs and identification of an appropriate learning model; (2) development, validation, limited trials, and finalization of the innovative learning resources; and (3) implementation of ETAP-based project-based learning using a KKNIoriented instructional design with six structured assignments and OutcomeBased Education (OBE) principles. The results show that the developed project-based learning resources are valid, feasible, and practical for use in teaching and learning activities. The application of ETAP through the Direct Online Learning (DOL) method improved student learning outcomes, as indicated by an increase in pretest and posttest scores. Furthermore, classroom and laboratory implementation demonstrated that the learning model was effective in enhancing students’ understanding of electric motor use and control.
