Hydraulic systems are vital components in modern naval vessel operations, controlling 60-70% of all ship operational systems. This research aims to comprehensively analyze the benefits of hydraulic system learning for Engineering Corps cadets at the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL). The study employed a mixed methods approach with concurrent embedded design, involving 163 cadets for quantitative components and 20 cadets for qualitative components. Data collection techniques included structured questionnaires, pre-test and post-test cognitive tests, practical performance observations, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results showed significant improvement in hydraulic system knowledge with large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.31) and average score increase of 28.8%. Cadets' perception of learning benefits was highly positive (M = 4.31 on a 5-point scale), with "Relevance to Operational Tasks" dimension achieving the highest score (M = 4.47). Practical performance showed 74.8% of cadets achieved good to excellent grades. Qualitative analysis identified five main themes: technical understanding transformation, practical competency development, theory-practice integration, soft skills development, and career motivation and orientation. Factors influencing learning benefits included instructor quality (β = 0.34), practical facility availability (β = 0.28), and learning motivation (β = 0.23). This research confirms that hydraulic system learning provides multidimensional benefits encompassing cognitive, psychomotor, and affective aspects, contributing to holistic professional competency development essential for success as Indonesian Navy technical officers.
