Therefore, the theme of 3rd ICoVEMAT 2020 is “Technology Innovation-Based Mechanical and Automotive Engineering Education for Promoting Sustainable Freedom of Learning” List of Steering Committee, Scientific Committee, Proceedings Chairs, Organizing Committee, Invited Speakers are available in this pdf.

The number of unemployed graduates from vocational schools continues to increase. The cause of unemployment is indeed complex. Various studies state that one of the causes of unemployment is teacher competency. Therefore, it is important to study the learning competencies of graduates of the Automotive Engineering Education Department, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), as one of the institutions producing vocational teacher candidates. This study was obtained from research using a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that the learning competencies of the graduates of the Automotive Engineering Undergraduate Program required by the Light Vehicle Technology (TKRO) Vocational School varied greatly, but were dominated by behavior and attitudes towards students in learning. Learning competencies possessed by graduates of UNY’s Automotive Engineering Education Program are included in both categories. In addition, the competencies of graduates of the UNY in Automotive Engineering Education Program required by vocational school and those possessed by graduates are included in the relevant category.
