This study aims to analyze the influence of internal combustion engine instructional tools on the competency achievement of cadets at the Indonesian Naval Academy Technical Corps. Using a mixed-methods research approach with sequential explanatory design, this study involved 160 cadets divided into experimental group (n=80) and control group (n=80). Quantitative data were collected through knowledge competency tests, practical skills assessments, and attitude scales, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory observations. The results showed that internal combustion engine instructional tools had a positive and significant effect on cadet competency achievement in three domains: knowledge (Cohen's d = 1.56), practical skills (Cohen's d = 2.68), and learning attitudes (Cohen's d = 1.62). Multivariate analysis showed that the use of internal combustion engine instructional tools explained 68.8% of the variance in the combination of cadet competencies (Wilks' Lambda = 0.312, p<0.001). Qualitative findings identified four main themes: enhanced conceptual understanding, hands-on skills development, increased motivation and engagement, and implementation constraints. Mediation analysis showed that attitude served as a partial mediator in the relationship between instructional tools and competency achievement. The results confirm that internal combustion engine instructional tools are a crucial determinant factor in technical competency achievement, with significant implications for military technical education curriculum development and Indonesian Navy operational readiness.
