Abstract
This research investigates the perceived challenges encountered by technical education students in the domain of machine tools design. With the burgeoning advancements in manufacturing technologies, the role of machine tools design has become increasingly vital. However, the complexity of this field often poses significant challenges to students pursuing technical education. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to assess the perceived areas of difficulty faced by students in machine tools design. Quantitative data is gathered through surveys administered to a sample of technical education students, while qualitative insights are obtained through in-depth interviews with instructors and industry professionals. The findings highlight several key areas of difficulty, including conceptual understanding of machine tool operations, proficiency in relevant software tools, and practical application of design principles. Furthermore, the research explores the underlying factors contributing to these challenges,
