This paper aims to develop ESP Supplementary book for mechanical engineering students in high level education. This is a Borg & Gall Research and Development (R&D) by using questionnaire and unstructured interview instrument. The research subject is 20 fourth semester students of mechanical engineering major in UNU Blitar. The limitation of this study is developing ESP supplementary book based PBL with engineering materials as the topic of the book. The process development of Engineering Materials Supplementary Book Based on ESP and PBL consists of some steps those are (1) Need analysis; (2) Product arrangement; (3) Product testing; and (4) Product revision if it is necessary. This research finds that the supplementary book is valid in three aspects of media (77.5%), content (83.3%) and language (83.3%) and feasible to use as supplement material for the mechanical engineering students. Based on the satisfaction questionnaire this product is appropriate for the mechanical engineering students to learn about English for Specific Purposes in form of Project Based Learning model implementation in percentage about 80% agree and 15% very agree.

English for Specific Purposes in tertiary level puts its importance to Need Analysis (NA) process for syllabus design. This present research is concerned with designing ESP syllabus for Mechanical Engineering students in tertiary level through need analysis. The research aims to identify the immediate needs of the Mechanical Engineering students and design appropriated syllabus based on students’ needs using Target Situation Analysis (TSA) and Present Situation Analysis (PSA). In order to achieve the research’s objectives, a questionnaire was administered to a total 50 respondents. The finding of the research shows that among 4 basic English skills, listening skill emerged as the most important skill that students’ really need, followed by speaking, reading, and writing. Thus, this research suggests that ESP teachers should design more varied activities on listening course that students will have the competence to apply the skills later in future life context.

This study discusses the needs analysis for developing flexibility-project-based learning models in vocational education to optimize the learning process and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the need for developing a proper learning model that can be applied in the domestic electrical installation learning process for students of electrical engineering vocational education at the third diploma level.The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire consisting of four leading indicators. 27 students who took part in the domestic electrical installation learning process became respondents in this study. The results showed that the need for a flexibility-based learning model project obtained a significant score. Thus, the need for a flexibility-project-based learning model developed in the domestic electrical installation learning process is high.

Selection Of

We have developed a course combining a Mechanical Engineering Materials Laboratory with a Materials Science lecture for a small combined population of undergraduate Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering students. By judicious selection of topic order, we have been able to utilize one lecture and one laboratory for both Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering students (with limited splitting of groups). The primary reasons for combining the Mechanical and Biomedical students are to reduce faculty load and required resources in a small university. For schools with medium or small Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering programs, class sizes could be improved if they could include other populations. The heterogeneous populations also aid in teaching students that the same engineering techniques are useful in more than a single engineering realm. The laboratory sections begin with the issues common to designing and evaluating mechanical testing, followed by tensile, shear, and torsion evaluation of metals. To introduce composite materials, wood and cement are evaluated. While the Mechanical Engineering students are evaluating impact and strain gauges, the Biomedical Engineering students are performing tensile studies of soft tissues, and compression of long bones. The basic materials lectures (beginning at the atomic level) are in common with both Mechanical and Biomedical student populations, until specific topics such as human body materials are discussed. Three quarters of the term is thus taught on a joint basis, and three or four lectures are split. Basic metal, plastic and wood behavior is common to both groups.

This chapter introduces project-based learning approach which is used in the Oulu University of Applied Sciences (OUAS), School of Engineering and Natural Resources, Mechanical Engineering Department to get local companies to offer project works to mechanical engineering students. The concept is based on organizing a local event or online event for the companies to come to OUAS campus to present their challenges needing engineering students to solve. The companies are then competing, selling, or pitching their problem for engineering students as the engineering students will then individually select the most interesting cases to be solved, and which has linkage to potential summer job and thesis work opportunities if projects are successful. The concept has proven to be successful, and it has been established as traditional event with many companies returning to the pitching event annually to get their industry problems solved by group of motivated engineering students.

Abstract This study aims to develop and analysis the feasibility of a video-assisted project-based learning model on YouTube in automotive engineering drawing subjects. Research development using ADDIE design which is simplified into 4 steps. The developed model was validated by material experts, media and learning practitioners as well as user perception tests. Data were collected through a questionnaire with a product feasibility questionnaire and a perception questionnaire using 5 Likert scales. The results of developing a project-based learning model assisted by YouTube videos contain planning procedures, syntax implementation, and assessment mechanisms that are packaged in a learning model guide book. The results of the validation test obtained a very high level of feasibility, both from material experts, media experts and learning practitioners. Likewise, the student response test showed a very good response to the developed model. The video-assisted project-based learning model on YouTube in automotive engineering drawing subjects is very feasible to be applied in learning.

Software development is a key skill for all engineers and is therefore part of the first semester curriculum for mechanical engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt). A new method in engineering studies at TU Darmstadt based on project-based learning is being introduced to give students the opportunity to gain experience in software development using MATLAB and controlling real world objects. In this project, a 6-axis articulated robot arm similar to the ones used in industrial applications is being used. In addition to the motors used to drive the robot arm it is equipped with a color sensor. The students are thus encouraged to familiarize themselves with processing sensor data and incorporating it into their problem-solving approaches. The students are given a newly developed virtual model of the robot also implemented in MATLAB, which enables them to develop and test their solutions even when there is no access to the physical robot. To communicate with the robot the same methods for both the real and the virtual robot is provided to control the angles of the joints of the robot. As the students are only given Cartesian coordinates they have to convert these for the robot to use. The task given to the students comprises the development of an algorithm to solve a specific problem using the robot, programming a graphical user interface and a documentation of the project’s results. Students solve the given programming task in self-organized groups of four and undergo a team-based software project with focus on engineering from the beginning to the end. This allows them to reflect on personal competencies and to find their respective roles in a team at a very early stage of their studies. The project applies various aspects taught in the corresponding lecture and thereby emphasizes the practical use of the subject matter. In the concluding presentation, the students are encouraged to reflect their work, summarize the results and show the special features of their implementation.
