Industrial Needs

According to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, all engineering programs in Canada must include a minimum of 15% of activities allocated to design. One can assume that these activities vary in content and scope between different programs. In this context, how can we define engineering design? Is there a recognized academic definition? Should our design goals be aligned with industrial needs and practice and if so, what should be the content of our design activities and how should they be structured? How is it possible to reach academic design goals given the limited resources available in our engineering schools? These are some of questions that will be addressed in this paper with the intent of better understanding the very important aspect of design’s engineering practice. Additional topics include: the change in design philosophy and approach resulting from a major program reform in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Université de Sherbrooke as well as the importance of industrial partnerships in design projects.

Abstract Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering, and computer science in the design process. This paper describes a new elective course entitled Mechatronics which has been developed and was taught for the first time at Rensselaer during the fall 1991 semester to 45 senior-undergraduate and graduate students. The key areas of mechatronics which are studied in depth in this course are: control sensors and actuators, interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcomputer, discrete controller design, and real-time programming for control using the C programming language. The course is heavily laboratory-based with a two-hour laboratory weekly in addition to three hours of classroom lecture. The laboratory exercises include computer-aided control system design using MATRIXx, various analog and digital sensors, hydraulic actuators, DC and stepper motors, and computer control of a variety of physical systems. The unifying theme for the course is the integration of these key areas into a successful mechatronic design. Students are required, as a final project, to: identify a problem or need, analyze the problem, and write a problem statement; perform a state-of-the-art review; develop a list of specifications and identify the key specifications; generate an outstanding mechatronic-system conceptual design; and finally perform a detailed design of the system which may include model building and hardware development. Examples of student projects are described. This course should significantly enhance our design education program in the Mechanical Engineering Department and lay the foundation for the students to become mechatronic design engineers.

Teaching materials are a set of tools or facilities that contain materials, methods and evaluations used by teachers or lecturers in learning. So far, the teaching materials released by several developers have rarely been in accordance with the needs of Mechanical Engineering students, where some of the teaching materials available still use general English. In this study, in order to compile an appropriate teaching material, researchers have conducted a needs analysis. Needs analysis is a fundamental aspect for English language lecturers for specific purposes (ESP) in identifying information or the main needs of students and investigating areas of student shortages. In line with this statement, this research is a case study design that aims to determine the needs of mechanical engineering students in learning English through Padlet at the Faculty of Engineering in the 2019-2020 academic year. The data in this study were collected from researcher observations, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 40 students and two English language lecturers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The results revealed that speaking and writing are the main focus of English skills in the Mechanical Engineering department and listening along with reading are the next English skills needed than others.

Development Approach

This study was aimed at developing and investigating the feasibility of the personal leadership learning model for vocational students in the Mechanical Engineering Expertise Program. The personal leadership learning model used in this study is a learning model adapted from Scouller's personal leadership model. The subjects in this study were students of class X of the Mechanical Engineering Department of 2017/2018 and the teachers, while the object of research was the personal leadership model. Research and development approach was used in this study with the development procedure including data collection and analysis, initial product development, validation, product testing, revision, and final product. The data were gathered by interviews, observations, and survey. The data then were analyzed using qualitative descriptive method. The results of the study produce a personal leadership learning model which is declared by material experts and expert learning models, as a feasible and applicable model. Personal leadership learning model is effective in improving students' activity, especially in asking or giving opinion.PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PADA SISWA SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUANPenelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan dan menguji kelayakan model pembelajaran personal leadership untuk siswa SMK Program Keahlian Teknik Pemesinan. Model pembelajaran personal leadership yang digunakan dalam peneltian ini merupakan model pembelajaran yang diadaptasi dari model personal leadership menurut Scouller. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas X Jurusan Teknik Pemesinan 2017/2018 dan Guru SMK, sedangkan objek penelitian adalah model personal leadership. Pendekatan penelitian dan pengembangan (Research & Development) digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan prosedur pengembangan mencakup analisis dan pengumpulan data, pengembangan produk awal, validasi, uji coba produk, revisi, dan produk akhir. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi, dan survei. Data dianalisa dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa model pembelajaran personal leadership yang dikembangkan dinyatakan sangat layak oleh ahli materi dan ahli model pembelajaran, serta dinyatakan dapat diterapkan dalam proses pembelajaran oleh siswa dan guru. Model pembelajaran personal leadership efektif dalam meningkatkan aktivitas siswa, terutama dalam aktivitas bertanya atau berpendapat.
