Abstract EN
This study aims to develop professional competency indices and their subindices as needed by the solar energy industry, to establish a basis for development of the engineering education curriculum.
The methodologies adopted by the study are literature analysis, expert advisories, and focus groups.
The study focuses on the establishment of competency indices by experts at stock market-listed companies and then confirms these competencies with focus groups.
The study found that the competencies required by the solar industry consist of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the areas of materials development and applications, photovoltaic technology, cell manufacturing technology, biotechnology, chemical technology, power generation and electricity, process development and improvement, data collection and analysis, industry regulation, green energy beliefs, and working attitudes and values.
The results of this study can be used as the basis for the cultivation, selection, and employment of industry professionals.
