Lecturers Perceived Acceptance and Usage of Technology for Mechanical Engineering Training
This section focused on lecturers perceived acceptance and usage of technology for mechanical engineering training. The analysis covered four key areas: digital technology acceptance (DTA), perceived ease of use (PEU) of technology, user acceptance (UA), and quality assurance practices (QAP) in training institutions. The results offer a comprehensive understanding of the current state of digital technology adoption and provide a foundation for further discussion on how to address the challenges and leverage the opportunities presented by these emerging technologies in engineering education and training. The results are presented in Tables 4.18 to 4.20.
