Virtually all engineering education organizations from around the world agree on the critical awareness of the societal context of engineering for graduating engineers. Service learning is one viable way that can bring about students’ awareness of their role in society. However, the body of literature addressing service learning as a pedagogy and strategic ways of implementing it in the already-full engineering curricula, as well as its assessment is relatively small. This paper describes a concise engineering service-learning component in a typical heat transfer course for mechanical engineering students. The service-learning component was used to probe the students’ ability to a) articulate the societal context of engineering, b) explain the importance of pro-active community service, and demonstrate an inclination to continue such service in the future, c) exhibit an appreciation of communication with non-engineers and finally, d) challenge some of the students’ stereotypes regarding other members of the community. Reflections were conducted by the students when answering a set of carefully-phrased questions addressing the above four issues. The responses of all students were analyzed as explained in this paper. The recorded benefits of service learning are described and can be expected from similar service-learning components in other engineering courses.

Food poisoning is usually caused by the food being contaminated with bacteria or microbes. The purpose of this community service is to increase students' knowledge and understanding regarding selecting, processing, and serving safe food.

Abstrak: Data Riskesdas tahun 2018 menyatakan bahwa pada bayi umur 0-5 bulan di Indonesia, proporsi pola pemberian ASI sebanyak 37,3% ASI ekslusif, sedangkan pada ASI parsial dan ASI predominan masing-masing sebesar 9,3%, dan 3,3%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa angka ASI eksklusif kita masih tergolong rendah. Perawatan payudara adalah faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap keberhasilan proses menyusui pada ibu nifas, selain faktor lainnya. Penelitian sebelumnya mengungkapkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara perawatan payudara dengan keberhasilan proses menyusui dengan p-value sebesar 0,007. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah memberi edukasi kepada masyarakat khususnya ibu nifas untuk dapat melakukan perawatan payudara pada masa nifasnya sehingga bisa mendukung program ASI eksklusif. Metode pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan melalui ceramah dan simulasi perawatan payudara. Pendidikan kesehatan dilakukan oleh dosen dan mahasiswa STIKes Widya Dharma Husada Tangerang. Kegiatan bertempat di Posyandu Dewi Sri Pamulang Kota tangerang Selatan. Pelaksanaannya pada saat kegiatan posyandu lalu disertakan pendidikan kesehatan dengan tema perawatan payudara pada ibu nifas. Peserta kegiatan sebanyak 15 orang ibu nifas. Terdapat antusiasme warga saat kegiatan berlangsung. Dampak kegiatan ini peserta mengetahui cara melakukan perawatan pada payudara sehingga sangat bermanfaat dalam proses menyusuinya. Harapan selanjutnya adalah kader posyandu juga dapat terus memberikan pendidikan kesehatan mengenai perawatan payudara pada ibu nifas yang belum memahami bagaimana merawat payudara selama proses menyusui.Abstract: Riskesdas data for 2018 states that in infants aged 0-5 months in Indonesia, the proportion of breastfeeding patterns is 37,3% exclusive breastfeeding, while partial breastfeeding and predominant breastfeedings are 9,3% and 3,3%, respectively. This shows that our exclusive breastfeeding rate is still low. Breast care is one of the factors that influence the success of the breastfeeding process in postpartum mothers and other factors. Previous research revealed a significant relationship between breast care and the success of the breastfeeding process with a p-value = 0,007. This community service aims to provide education to the community, especially postpartum mothers, to carry out breast care during the puerperium so that they can support the exclusive breastfeeding programs. Community service methods are carried out through lectures and simulations of breast care. Health education is carried out by lecturers and students of STIKes Widya Dharma Husada Tangerang. The activity took place at Posyandu Dewi Sri Pamulang, South Tangerang City. It was implemented during the posyandu activities and then included health education with breast care for postpartum mothers. Participants in the activity were about 15 mothers. There was enthusiasm from the residents when the activity took place. The impact of this activity, participants know how to do a treatment on the breast, so it is very beneficial in breastfeeding. The next hope is that posyandu cadres can also continue to provide health education on breast care to mothers who do not understand how to care for the breast during the breastfeeding process.

Although in a decade it had decreased, its prevalence was still quite large. Untreated stunting has a lasting impact on a child's life. The existence of the COVID-19 pandemic adds to the burden in the implementation of handling stunting. Therefore, mothers are the right person to help prevent stunting in children. Mothers, as the primary caregivers of children, must have sufficient information to detect and prevent stunting. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the knowledge of mothers related to stunting prevention. Community service was carried out through providing health education and practice of making complementary foods. The activity was held on November 13, 2020, involving 35 mothers who have toddlers. Participants received material related to stunting and its prevention. Participants also taught about early detection of stunting by reading Health Card. The team also conducted a cooking demonstration starting with food processing techniques and proper cooking techniques to maintain food nutrition. The lecture technique supported by demonstrations helped the participants understand the information provided. Health education to reduce the stunting rate needs to be done more frequently so that mothers can obtain more information. The proper and correct knowledge can directly change the mother's attitude and behavior to become healthier.

This chapter introduces an interactive communication tool, the ‘HRA System’. The recent rapid penetration of the Internet has made it a leading mode for gathering and sharing health information. People who access information on the Internet differ considerably in their ‘health literacy’, or the ability to understand and act on health information. The HRA System was developed in an effort to promote health education among people with inadequate health literacy. The system was designed in accordance with the clients’ health literacy skills, as well as the clients’ computer skills. A number of healthcare providers have registered with our research group to provide health education using the HRA System to the general public. The authors provide some ideas regarding how to apply interactive communication technology to health education successfully.

Fasting Ramadan as worship has many benefits for health, so that these two goals can be achieved, it is necessary to regulate diet specifically, especially regulating nutritional intake during iftar and sahur. During fasting the diet will change, because it is only allowed to eat in the morning before dawn and at night. The stomach is left empty for about 13 hours. Generally, the body takes 3-5 days to adapt to a new diet. From the nutritional aspect, fasting will at least reduce nutritional intake, especially energy by around 20-30 percent. This community service activity is carried out using an action study method where mothers in Tonasa Village will practice cooking food according to the nutritional needs needed according to age, then increase knowledge and understanding of balanced nutrition during fasting for PKK mothers in RW 01 In addition, we as a service team will provide tips so that families can continue to do activities without feeling weak.
