Abstract

Machine shop operations are essential in marine engineering education, equipping students with vital technical skills necessary for both shipboard industrial maintenance. However, noticeable gaps exist in students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to machine shop operations, which could potentially impact their competency and safety in maritime careers. This study aims to evaluate the KAP levels of marine engineering students concerning machine shop operations, specifically focusing on their tool usage, adherence to safety protocols, and problem-solving capabilities. To collect data, the researchers employed a descriptive research design that included structured surveys and direct observations to assess the KAP levels of students currently enrolled in or recently completed with machine shop training. The findings indicate that students generally possess a solid understanding of tool functions and safety protocols. While their attitudes reflect a strong belief in the importance of practical skills, their confidence levels appear to vary. In terms of practices, students demonstrate a commendable commitment to safety measures, though they tend to seek feedback from instructors less frequently. These insights highlight the need for enhanced practical training, improved feedback systems, and curriculum enhancements to strengthen students' problem-solving abilities and confidence, ultimately better preparing them for the demands of the maritime industry.
