Abstract

This study aims to develop an outcome-based learning approach in Automotive Mechatronics skills by utilizing NodeMCU ESP8266 as a hardware platform. This approach involves a project-based learning model where students design and develop Comfort Safety Information and Technology (CSIT) for vehicles. This system integrates Internet of Vehicle (IoV) technology through the Back Door (open/close) System (BDS) in the form of a prototype. This study involved eight students who studied in groups to develop the system for 21 days. The results showed that this approach effectively improved students^ skills in Automotive Mechatronics, especially in designing and developing IoV-based systems. This study also highlights the importance of considering the rapid technological advances in the automotive sector and the need for continuous curriculum updates to ensure that graduates are ready to work in the industry
