Impact of UPI’s EE Education Program on Professional Outcomes

This study explores the shortage of productive teachers in vocational secondary education schools in the field of electrical engineering in Indonesia by examining the contribution of the professional careers of graduates in the department of electrical engineering education at the Indonesian University of Education at the national level. The purpose of this study is to reveal the influence of aspects of motivation, social influence and social dissuasion on the contribution of the vocational teacher profession in the field of electrical engineering. This study involved 100 respondents who graduated from electrical engineering education from various graduate generations and provinces in Indonesia. The analysis and research methods used are descriptive quantitative approaches and data analysis techniques, including Jamovi for Windows version 1.6, SPSS for Windows and Microsoft Excel. From the results of the research, it is obtained that there is a simultaneous relationship between the shortage of productive teachers in the electrical engineering vocational field and non-teacher professions (the world of industry and business); this is indicated by indicators of motivational variables from career opportunities and social welfare; variables of social influence and study experience in universities; and variable indicators of social media disaffection, career challenges in the non-educational field, balance of workload and salary, gender recognition of female electrical engineering teachers, and policies in the system of qualifications, protection and teacher rights. This study introduces a novel exploration into the factors influencing the career trajectories of graduates from electrical engineering education in Indonesia, with a focus on motivational, social, and institutional elements. By combining descriptive quantitative analysis with advanced statistical tools, the research provides unique insights into the interplay between teacher shortages in vocational education and the attraction of non-teaching professions in industry and business.
