Abstract:Unemployment is a global problem which, as well as being the source of scarcity and other problems, threatens people’s well-being. Effectively addressing the issue is one of the new challenges of the workplace in the age of digital technology. Tertiary education institutions strive to develop people’s potential before they enter the world of work. Developing the necessary skills – including operational skills with tools – requires laboratory training. A fabrication laboratory is an open space that promotes tooling skills, along with systematic and creative thought processes and inventiveness. All these can, in turn, form the basis of innovations that will benefit the community as a whole. This study began by looking at the trends and research related to fabrication laboratories. Then, in Step 2, it analysed and synthesised the relevant research, examined the elements of the fabrication laboratory, created a synthetic table and, finally, summarised the results. These showed that most of the research consisted of eight elements: 1) design spaces, 2) rapid prototyping tools, 3) electronic instruments, 4) mechanical tools, 5) scientific instruments, 6) a Group Learning Toolkit, 7) other tools, and 8) learning exchange or publishing spaces. This study is a review, therefore, of the research relating to the elements in the proper learning environment of a tertiary education fabrication laboratory. It is necessary if we are to develop the potential of learners across all sectors before they enter the world of work.Published in: 2022 International Conference on Decision Aid Sciences and Applications (DASA)Date of Conference: 23-25 March 2022Date Added to IEEE Xplore: 02 May 2022ISBN Information:DOI: 10.1109/DASA54658.2022.9765186Publisher: IEEEConference Location: Chiangrai, Thailand

Abstract:This research aims to apply confirmatory factor analysis to identify the enterprise architecture components for higher education institutions. The research sample comprised 300 personnel from agencies within higher education institutions, which are higher education institutions under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation that use the database system of educational quality assurance called Commission on Higher Education Quality Assessment online system (CHE QA Online). The selection resulted from multi-stage random sampling from 100 higher education instructions. The research tool was an online questionnaire form on factors influencing the enterprise architecture in the digital transformation for higher education institutions by 5-level rating scale based on the Likert’s scale. The result revealed that the enterprise architecture factor is consistent with empirical data (p-value = 0.370), which comprise 5 components: 1) Business 2) Data/Information 3) Application 4) Infrastructure and 5) Security. The research findings help higher education institutions design their blueprint for the institutional transformation to a digital organization.Published in: 2022 International Conference on Decision Aid Sciences and Applications (DASA)Date of Conference: 23-25 March 2022Date Added to IEEE Xplore: 02 May 2022ISBN Information:DOI: 10.1109/DASA54658.2022.9764970Publisher: IEEEConference Location: Chiangrai, Thailand
