Fabrication of a Car Starter System Learning Media for Vocational High School Practicum at SMK Muhammadiyah Seputih Raman

Abstract

SMK Muhammadiyah Seputih Raman, located in Central Lampung Regency, Lampung Province, offers an Automotive Engineering program that focuses on motor vehicle engines such as cars and motorcycles. In vocational learning, practicum activities are essential to train students’ technical skills. One important component in automotive electrical systems is the starter system, yet practical training tools for this system are currently unavailable at the school. To address this gap, a community service program was carried out involving training on the vehicle starter system and the development of a starter system trainer as a practicum medium. The outcomes of this program are: (1) the addition of new learning media, specifically a practicum tool for the automotive electrical starter system at SMK Muhammadiyah Seputih Raman; (2) improvement of students’ knowledge and skills in automotive electrical systems, particularly the car starter system; and (3) the creation of a practicum module as a guide to facilitate starter system practicum activities.
