Abstract
Automotive metrology competence is an important component of technical skills because it involves measurement accuracy, result interpretation, and technical decision-making. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the automotive metrology competence of vocational high school students through a national-level measurement skills competition. The activity was conducted as part of VOCASPIRA Fest 2025 and involved 88 students from automotive vocational schools across Indonesia. The activity used a competition-based learning approach consisting of technical orientation, practical measurement, performance assessment, finalist selection, and participant evaluation. A total of 88 participants were used as evaluation respondents using a 10-item questionnaire with a 1–5 Likert scale. The results showed an overall mean score of 4.48, categorized as very good, equivalent to 89.6% of the maximum score. The practical measurement experience aspect obtained the highest score of 91.0%, while participants’ ability to interpret measurement results reached 90.4%. The activity provided a competitive and structured practical learning experience to strengthen students’ accuracy, precision, measurement interpretation, and readiness to meet automotive industry competency requirements.
