This qualitative study investigates the challenges faced by new engine officers in maritime settings, focusing on their transition from theoretical learning to practical engine maintenance. Through semi-structured interviews with experts in marine engineering and engine management, the research identifies significant gaps between theoretical knowledge acquired in classrooms and the practical skills required aboard ships. Key findings highlight the need for educational reforms, including increased practical training hours, curriculum adjustments to enhance relevance, and integration of simulation technologies. Participants, comprising professional engine masters, endurance managers, and maritime educators, unanimously advocate for a more hands-on approach to training that prepares cadets to handle complex engine maintenance tasks effectively. Simulation technologies, particularly virtual reality simulations, emerge as crucial tools for bridging the gap between theory and practice. They provide realistic environments for cadets to simulate diverse operational scenarios and develop critical decision-making skills without exposing them to actual risks. The study concludes with recommendations for collaborative efforts between educational institutions and industry stakeholders to implement these reforms, ensuring a competent and prepared workforce capable of meeting the dynamic challenges of modern maritime operations.

This study examines the significant role of cash waqf in financing renewable energy projects for sustainable Islamic economic development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research collects data through case analysis of Islamic social finance institutions involved in renewable energy funding, along with interviews with key informants such as waqf managers and Islamic finance practitioners. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and key themes related to cash waqf’s application in renewable energy projects.

However, there are significant opportunities to address these challenges through collaborations with Islamic banks and sustainable financial institutions. This study proposes integrating cash waqf with Islamic finance principles and ESG criteria to increase its impact on renewable energy projects. With appropriate regulation and increased awareness, cash waqf can play a crucial role in driving the transition to a sustainable green economy.
