Focus And Scope :

Focus:
The Journal of Vocational Education and Applied Science (JVEAS) is dedicated to the empirical and theoretical investigation of the synergy between Technical Vocational Education (TVE) pedagogy and the practical advancement of applied engineering. Our focus is to serve as a catalyst for "Link and Match" ecosystems, prioritizing research that elucidates how innovative instructional models and applied technologies address the dynamic exigencies of the global industrial sector. We seek to publish transformative work that not only contributes to the academic corpus but also provides actionable solutions for enhancing technical competencies and industrial efficiency.

Scope:
JVEAS welcomes original research, systematic reviews, and case studies across two comprehensive pillars:

1. Vocational Engineering Education & Pedagogy

This domain explores the evolution of technical instruction and institutional governance within specialized engineering fields:

  • Specialized Technical Pedagogy:Innovation in the teaching and learning of Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic Engineering, as well as Informatics and Computer Education.
  • Instructional Design & Digitalization:The efficacy of Competency-Based Training (CBT), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and the integration of immersive technologies (VR/AR/AI) in technical workshops and laboratories.
  • Curriculum Architecture & TVET Policy:Strategic analysis of industry-integrated curricula, professional certification standards, and the socio-economic impact of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 
  • Industry-Academic Partnerships:Empirical studies on the orchestration of collaborative frameworks between educational institutions and the Business and Industrial World (DUDI).

2. Applied Engineering & Industrial Innovation

This domain focuses on high-impact applied research that drives technological sovereignty and industrial progress:

  • Sustainable Infrastructure:Advancements in Civil and Environmental Engineering, including applied geotechnics, resilient infrastructure, and green building technologies.
  • Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Systems:Innovations in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, covering thermodynamics, additive manufacturing, supply chain optimization, and industrial ergonomics.
  • Electronic & Power Systems:Research on microelectronics, telecommunication networks, power electronics, and smart grid stability.
  • Computational Intelligence & Informatics:Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI), robust cybersecurity frameworks, and advanced data analytics tailored for industrial and technical utility.
  • Process Technology & Materials Science:Applied chemical engineering, material characterization, and industrial chemical processes.

Automation, Robotics & Mechatronics: Development of PLC systems, mechatronic integration, and the implementation of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
