Development of Training Curricula to Improve Engineers’ Learning Capacity in Manufacturing Facilities Using the Production Support System Based on DAPOA

Abstract

To provide training experience for engineers working in industrial plants, this research developed and evaluated a training model for industrial production support systems using the DAPOA learning framework. The five steps of the DAPOA project learning model were used to organize teaching and learning for the academic year 2023–2024. These steps are topic identification, analysis, planning and design, implementation, and evaluation. The study of the production support system combined theoretical and practical teaching approaches. The study used a sample group of 20 plant engineers who expressed interest in participating in the experiment. We examined classroom and workplace skills and assessed the trainees' abilities. The results showed that the DAPOA project learning framework was moderate-to-highly appropriate. Following the training, the establishment's air compressor system engineers demonstrated significantly higher knowledge and practical abilities. This training course design also worked because the DAPOA learning model worked well. It gave an average result (E1/E2) of 80.45/83.95 percent, which showed that engineers were better at analyzing data in industrial compressed air systems. Although some parts of the training steps for energy analysis of compressed air systems were deemed appropriate by experts, all assessments were carried out by experts about energy use standards for industrial production support equipment and the standards were found to be appropriate. The practical training manual of the sample group had the highest satisfaction (x̅=4.45) according to the evaluation results.
