Evaluation of the Implementation of Industrial Practice Learning in Automotive Students

The objectives of this study include 1) evaluating the weaknesses of industrial practice by students, 2) Knowing the work procedures implemented by the university in terms of observation, implementation and evaluation, and 3) strategies to improve the quality of industrial practice in the study program. The method in this research is descriptive research with cluster random sampling technique. The selection of this population is all universities in Central Java and Yogyakarta automotive engineering education study programs, as well as samples from this study 3 universities. The result of the researchis clearly seen that between study programs and industry running independently, the study program ignores the competencies that exist in the industry, as well as the industry without offering what should be learned later in the industry. It is the responsibility of the study program coordinator to revitalize industry practices, that the study program must ask what to learn in the industry or offer competencies that must be learned in the industry. There are a number of steps that must be taken in improving the quality of industrial practices, he said, by 75% stating that there must be an update in learning in industry, 83% should have guidelines for learning industrial practices, for 67% there are guidance for guidance for instructors in the field, amounting to 75% there are guidance guidelines for supervisors.
