Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the impact that occurred from the trend of opening the Automotive Engineering Study Program, with the Light Vehicle Engineering and the Motorcycle Engineering in Vocational High Schools (SMK). The trend of opening the Automotive Engineering Study Program is not only in newly established or opened SMK, but also in several old SMK which were not originally from the Technology and Industry group. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative method, the data used in the research consists of: primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through interviews and observations at several SMK, while secondary data regarding the number of automotive engineering study program SMK and the number of existing teachers was obtained from the Education Office of West Sumatra Province. The results showed that there were 83 SMK in the Automotive Engineering Study Program in West Sumatra Province, with details of 43 Public Vocational High Schools and 40 Private Vocational High Schools. The city of Padang has the largest number of Automotive Engineering Study Program Vocational Schools, namely 15 Vocational High Schools (18.07%), with details: 4 State Vocational High Schools (26.67%) and 11 Private Vocational High Schools (73.33%). The impacts arising from the tendency to open the Automotive Engineering Study Program at SMK, namely: (1) a shortage of teachers for automotive engineering expertise programs at several SMK; (2) Workshops and practicum equipment at several SMK are incomplete and inadequate; (3) The practicum ability of automotive engineering teachers is still lacking and the technology is not updated; (4) Less and limited number of automotive industries or companies that are suitable as places of apprenticeship (Industrial Field Practice) for Automotive engineering study program students.
