Design and fabrication of manual gearbox transmission systems for STEM educational kits

This project aims to enhance the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education of Malaysian students by introducing them to the practical application of manual gearbox transmissions. The project addresses the gap in students' understanding of manual transmission systems, which are commonly used in vehicles, but often not thoroughly grasped in educational settings. By providing an engaging, hands-on kit, students will explore the fundamental principles of manual gearboxes, developing a deeper comprehension of how these systems work. The kit is designed to integrate key STEM concepts while encouraging students to engage in real-world problem-solving and practical investigations. Through activities focused on the diagnosis, repair, and assembly of manual transmissions, students gain valuable skills applicable to automotive engineering careers. This initiative not only aims to improve STEM education but also sparks an interest in the automotive field, preparing students for future employment in related industries. The project includes a combination of theoretical lessons, hands-on exercises, and evaluations, ensuring students understand both the science behind and the practical application of manual gearbox systems.
