Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: pertama, mengetahui tingkat relevansi Kurikulum kompetensi keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan SMKN 3 Yogyakarta dengan kebutuhan dunia industri di DI Yogyakarta. Kedua mengetahui tingkat keterlaksanaan Kurikulum kompetensi keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan SMKN 3 Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Populasi dari penelitian yaitu industri di DI Yogyakarta yang berjumlah 140 industri dan guru Teknik Gambar Bangunan SMKN 3 Yogyakarta yang berjumlah 9 orang. Sampel untuk industri diambil menggunakan teknik purposive random sampling dengan sampel 35 industri. Untuk guru, semua populasi diambil sebagai sampel. Instrumen untuk industri dan guru menggunakan angket. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan yaitu statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) relevansi antara kurikulum kompetensi keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan SMKN 3 Yogyakarta dengan kebutuhan dunia industri dalam kategori sangat relevan; dan (2) keterlaksanaan Kurikulum kompetensi keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan SMKN 3 Yogyakarta dalam kategori sangat baik. RELEVANCE OF BUILDING ENGINEERING CURRICULUM SMKN 3 YOGYAKARTA WITH THE NEEDS OF INDUSTRYAbstractThis research has two purposes; first, to determine the level of curriculum relevance of Building Engineering of SMKN 3 Yogyakarta with the needs of industry in the region of Yogyakarta. Second, to determine the level of curriculum feasibility of Building Engineering of SMKN 3 Yogyakarta. This research is a descriptive study. The research population consists of two types, industries engaged in civil construction engineering in DI Yogyakarta, amounting to 140 industries and namely teachers of Building Engineering SMKN 3 Yogyakarta, amounting to 9 people. For industries, samples were taken using a purposive random sampling with a sample of 35 industries. For the teachers, all population was taken as the sample. Instruments for industries and teachers were a questionnaire which was sent directly and via post. Data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics with the help of Microsoft Excel package.The results show that: (1) the relevance of curriculum competencies building Engineering expertise SMKN 3 Yogyakarta with the needs of industry is in the very relevant category, and (2)curriculum feasibility of building Engineering SMKN 3 Yogyakarta based on Permendiknas number 41 of 2007 on a standard process is in very good category.

AbstractUniversity as a social enterprise has become the dominant response to the challenge of bringing up an engineer as a first-rate technical expert who acts as a social agent, rather than just a technician, with a “broad understanding of the social and philosophical context in which he will work” [3]. Aim of the research is to analyze student engineers' Enterprise 3.0 application in engineering curriculum. The meaning of the key concepts of university as a social enterprise, engineering curriculum and Enterprise 3.0 is studied. Explorative research has been used. The empirical study was conducted at Riga Technical University, Riga, Latvia, in 2011. Descriptive statistics was implemented for primary data analysis. The findings of the research allow drawing the conclusions on the favourable context of Enterprise 3.0 application in engineering curriculum as the student engineers' knowledge and attitude towards Enterprise 3.0 application are positive. Direction of further research are proposed.

There is a culture of disengagement from social consideration in engineering disciplines. This means that first year engineering students, who arrive planning to change the world through engineering, lose this passion as they progress through the engineering curriculum. The community driven technology innovation and investment program described in this paper is an attempt to reverse this trend by fusing community engagement with the normal engineering design process. This approach differs from existing project or trip based approaches – outreach – because the focus is on local communities with which the university team forms a long-term partnership through weekly in-person meetings and community driven problem statements – engagement.
