Pendidikan pada usia dini menjadi sebuah fenomena menarik pada saat ini di Indonesia,dapat dilihat dari menjamurnya taman pendidikan untuk anak yang belum  bisa masuk sekolah. Provinsi Kepulauan Riau (Kepri) yang lokasinya berbatasan langsung dengan Gerbang Internasional Singapura dan Malaysia secara tidak langsung diminta untuk mampu berkompetisi secara secara softskill dan hardskill. Untuk menghadapi kesempatan tersebut dan menciptakan generasi yang mampu bersaing secara global, jurusan Teknik Elektro Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (UMRAH) melalui tridharma perguruan tinggi, bekerjasama dengan bagian Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts Bintan, menghasilkan sebuah program bernama Edutech for Children (EfC). EfC adalah program untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa berpikir secara kritis dan analisis pada usia dini melalui pengenalan proses perancangan rekayasa dan pelatihan pola pikir insinyur untuk siswa di sekolah. Dimulai dari proses etnografi, brainstorming, menentukan permasalahan dan solusi utama dan merancang menggunakan perangkat lunak 3 dimensi Autodesk inventor. Sebuah inovasi yang merupakan luaran dari proses desain rekayasa adalah merupakan hasil dari proses rancangan yang berbasiskan kepada pengguna dengan menggunakan pendekatan etnografi, oleh sebab itu melalui pelatihan yang diberikan siswa akan diajak untuk mampu memahami bahwa sebuah inovasi tersebut membutuhkan integrasi kemampuan berpikir secara luas terhadap permasalahan yang ada di masyarakat. Dengan kegiatan ini didapatkan hasil memuaskan yang dibuktikan dengan meningkatnya kemampuan teknis dan munculnya pola pikir inovatif sehingga siswa mampu untuk menemukan dan merancang teknologi yang sesuai untuk kebutuhan setempat. Kata kunci: Berpikir, Kompetisi, Kemampuan, Siswa, Teknologi ABSTRACT Education at an early age is an interesting phenomenon at this time in Indonesia, can be seen from the mushrooming of educational parks for children who have not been able to go to school. Riau Islands Province (Riau Islands) whose location is directly adjacent to the International Gates of Singapore and Malaysia is indirectly requested to be able to compete in soft skills and hard skills. To face this opportunity and create a generation that is able to compete globally, the Department of Electrical Engineering, Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH) through the three-tridharma of higher education, in collaboration with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) section of the Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts Bintan, produced a program called Edutech for Children (EfC). EfC is a program to improve students 'ability to think critically and analyze at an early age through the introduction of the engineering design process and training of engineers' mindsets for students in schools. Starting from the ethnographic process, brainstorming, determining the main problems and solutions and designing using Autodesk Inventor's 3-dimensional software. An innovation which is an outcome of the engineering design process is the result of a design process based on the user using an ethnographic approach, therefore through training provided students will be invited to be able to understand that an innovation requires the integration of broad thinking skills towards problems exist in the community. With this activity, satisfying results are evidenced by increasing technical ability and the emergence of innovative mindsets so that students are able to find and design technologies that are suitable for local needs.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine a week-long science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) project-based learning (PBL) activity that integrates a new educational technology and the engineering design process to teach middle and high school students the concepts involved in rotational physics. The technology and teaching method described in this paper can be applied to a wide variety of STEM content areas. Design/methodology/approach As an educational technology, the dynamic and interactive mathematical expressions (DIME) map system automatically generates an interactive, connected concept map of mathematically based concepts extracted from a portable document format textbook chapter. Over five days, students used DIME maps to engage in meaningful self-guided learning within the engineering design process and STEM PBL. Findings Using DIME maps within a STEM PBL activity, students explored the physics behind spinning objects, proposed multiple creative designs and built a variety of spinners to meet specified criteria and constraints. Practical implications STEM teachers can use DIME maps and STEM PBL to support their students in making connections between what they learn in the classroom and real-world scenarios. Social implications For any classroom with computers, tablets or phones and an internet connection, DIME maps are an accessible educational technology that provides an alternative representation of knowledge for learners who are underserved by traditional methods of instruction. Originality/value For STEM teachers and education researchers, the activity described in this paper uses advances in technology (DIME maps and slow-motion video capture on cell phones) and pedagogy (STEM PBL and the engineering design process) to enable students to engage in meaningful learning.

Design Ideas

Information is transferred through a process consisting of an information source, a transmitter, a channel, a receiver and its destination. Unfortunately, during different stages of the engineering design process, there is a risk of a design idea or solution being incorrectly interpreted due to the nonlinearity of engineering design. I.e., there are many ways to communicate a single design idea or solution. This paper provides a comprehensive review and categorization of the possible sources of information loss at different stages of the engineering design process. Next, the authors present an approach that seeks to minimize information loss during certain stages of the engineering design process. The paper i) explores design process and dissemination methods in engineering design; ii) reviews prior work pertaining to these stages of the engineering design process and iii) proposes an information entropy metric that designers can utilize in order to quantify information loss at different stages of the engineering design process. Knowledge gained from this work will aid designers in selecting a suitable dissemination solution needed to effectively achieve a design solution.
