Abstract
This paper discusses the development of simulators as instructional media for learning Electronic Spark Advance System in vehicle technology and its advisability. Simulators were developed to assist students in learning the skills and practical knowledge of the electronic ignition system in vehicle engine. The simulator was developed by applying 10 development stages. Development stages included: analyzing the problems, needs analysis, product design, design implementation, expert assessment, limited testing (small classes), product revisions, large usage / class testing, product revisions, and get suitable product. The development result was a replica of ESA system separated from vehicle system. The ignition system components were arranged on the acrylic board, so it can be used by the students safely and easily for: (1) identifying components, (2) inspect components, (3) inspect ignition circuit, (4) conducting ignition system adjusting, and (5)simulating ignition system. Based on the material and learning media aspects with the results of limited trials as well as usage trials show that the developed ESA's electronic ignition system simulator was suitable to use, so it can help students to learn and practice skills related to maintenance jobs and repair ESA's electronic ignition system more easily.
Highlights
The need for manpower in the automotive field is still high which can be reflected from the population of vehicles in Indonesia until 2016 reaches more than 10 million units (Ministry of Industry Republic of Indonesia, 2017)
With the potential that exists, made an educational display of electronic spark advance (ESA) electronic ignition system simulator to support the needs of practice
Simulator is made of acrylic material which is an electrical insulator material, which is placed on the metal frame
Summary
The need for manpower in the automotive field is still high which can be reflected from the population of vehicles in Indonesia until 2016 reaches more than 10 million units (Ministry of Industry Republic of Indonesia, 2017). This is evidence that the vast market becomes a great opportunity for vocational high school graduates for those who are really competent. In accordance with the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia (2017), it is stated that the automotive service sector still has a lot of homework to meet the needs, where it is stated that many foreign workers are more qualified than the local workforce. Understanding ESA's electronic ignition system is not easy because of the complexity of the electrical system
