Abstrak: Alat permainan edukatif memiliki manfaat penting dalam perkembangan kognitif anak, keterampilan motorik, dan kebugaran anak. Desain dan pembuatan yang dilakukan di Laboratorium Pendidikan Teknik Mesin Universitas Palangka Raya perlu dianalisis untuk mengetahui sejauh mana alat ini berguna. Hal pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah mempelajari literatur dan kemudian mengidentifikasi variabel penelitian yang bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran tentang apa yang dibutuhkan pengguna. Dari hasil kuesioner awal, tiga variabel diperoleh, yaitu desain, permainan mudah, dan keamanan. Data penelitian lebih lanjut yang telah diperoleh dengan nilai indeks dari produk yang diperoleh adalah 94,83%.   Abstract: Educational game tools have important benefits in a child's cognitive development, motor skills, and children's fitness. The design and manufacturing done at the Mechanical Engineering Education Laboratory of Palangka Raya University needs to be analyzed to find out how far the tool is useful. The first thing to do is to study the literature and then identify research variables aimed at getting a picture of what the user needs. From the results of the initial questionnaire, three variables were obtained, namely design, easy game and safety. Further research data that have been obtained with an index value of the products obtained are 94.83%.

At Rowan University, design has been infused into the curriculum through an eight-semester course sequence called the Engineering Clinics. Through this experience, students learn the art and science of design in a multidisciplinary team environment and hone their design skills throughout their 4-year career. This paper describes the objectives of the clinics, types of projects, and how the clinics complement traditional core courses in the curriculum. Impacts and benefits of the clinics on students and faculty are discussed, including retention and graduate study rates comparing Rowan University mechanical engineering students to their peers nationally. An assessment of the clinics is presented based on survey data and accreditation objectives and outcomes. Survey data from students were assessed to determine levels of students’ satisfaction and confidence based on the clinics. Results of alumni and employer surveys also provide valuable feedback for assessing and improving the clinics as well as confirmation of the impact of clinics after graduation. Survey data are discussed along with challenges of the clinics at Rowan and adaptability of them at other institutions. Overall, the clinics are a positive and integrated design experience in the curriculum and assist students in achieving the program objectives.
