Pahang is a state that is constantly intensifying development efforts to ensure the well-being of its people in achieving the target of becoming a viable state by 2050. However, the Covid-19 pandemic crisis has threatened the well-being of the population, especially the negative impact on the socio-economic landscape. As a result, almost all economic and social sectors were closed and has resulted in workers experiencing wage reductions, layoffs, and consequently rising unemployment rates. Therefore, Pahang state government needs to optimize all the opportunities available, among them is throughout efficient and effective management of employment resources. This study is a case study under the topic of employment resource management for the Pahang state government. The main objective of this study is to support Pahang state government in identifying the projected source of labor for the year 2020-2025, especially in the industrial sector. Apart from that, this study also seeks to help the Pahang state government by identifying factors related to the development of the industrial sector in line with the increase in employment resources. To realize the objectives of the study, secondary data were fully used in the data analysis. The results of the data analysis have projected that employment resources in the state of Pahang will increase approximately by 5,000 people a year and will reach a total of 1.77 million by 2025. The total labor force also increased from 748,000 in 2021 to 767,300 people in 2025 with Labor Force Participation Rate equivalent to 63.31%. At the same time the projection also records the total external labor force increasing to 42,400 people although at the same time the total working population increased to 733,600 people. The study also proposes employment projections in the industrial sector from 2021 to 2025. It is hoped that various initiatives that are implemented by various stakeholders to the industrial sector in Pahang could offers innovative employment opportunities to various sections of society to enhance socio-economic growth and spread the wellbeing to the society.

This study aims to analyze the labor force, labor force participation rate, and employment opportunities in East Java. The method used is the observation of secondary data from the Planning and Development Agencies of East Java (BAPPEDA JATIM) and also the central website of the National Bureau of Statistic (BPS). Then, data is analyzed and processed using Spectrum software. The result of labor force data analysis shows that the city of Surabaya is the region with the largest labor force that is 1.336.932 people, while the city of Mojokerto has the lowest number of labor force is 61.459 inhabitants. The total labor force in an area is affected by the number of indigenous peoples and the rate of urbanization, which residents hope to obtain better education and employment. The highest labor force participation rate was found in Pacitan district area of 83%, while the lowest was Probolinggo district at 63%. The highest employment data analysis result is found Surabaya city with the number of 1.245.542 job opportunities. Some of the factors that affect employment opportunities include the economic conditions of an area, population growth rate, resource quality, the amount of income, and age structure of the population.

This study ains to analyze the Development of Labor Force Participation Rate, Consumer Price Index and Gross Regional Domestic Product and Average Wages in Sumatera and analyze the influence of the Development of Labor Force Participation Rate, Consumer Price Index, and Gross Regional Domestic Product on Average Wages in Sumatera. The data used in this study are secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Indonesia office. For data analysis using panel data analysis. The average wage is a Bound variable that is influenced by three independent variables, namely the Labor Force Participation Rate, the Consumer Price Index, and the Gross Regional Domestic Product. Based on the result of the analysis it is known that the Labor Force Participation Rate has a negative and not significant effect on the average wage in Sumatera. The consumer Price Index has a negative and not significant effect on the average wages in Sumatera. Gross Regional Domestic Product has a positive and significant effect on Average Wages in Sumatera.

Abstract Experiences related to a new sophomore level course, “Introduction to Thermal Fluid Engineering,” are described. Several hundred students have taken the course and are currently enrolled in the follow-on courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The introductory course is structured as a two-hour per week lecture with a laboratory that meets three times during the semester. Although thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer subjects are introduced sequentially during the course, the overlap and inter-relationships between topics are emphasized. It has been beneficial both for students and the faculty teaching the course to see the bigger picture of the three courses as a whole rather than as separate topics. The open laboratories are manned by a graduate student or senior who guides the students through hands-on experiments. Each of the three simple experiments is designed to illustrate important principles and reinforce the computational skills of the students. A web site has been established to help guide the students in preparing the written portion of the laboratory report. Team teaching of some sections has been tried and compared to the standard one teacher per section approach. Feedback from the students indicated a surprising acceptance of having several teachers for a course when they were well coordinated. One advantage mentioned by the students was to introduce them to more of the mechanical engineering faculty early in their studies. Because this is the first course requiring engineering analysis taught by the mechanical engineering faculty, it provides the opportunity to direct them in their problem solving and organizational skills that will be useful throughout the rest of their courses. Student evaluations are included as part of the results presented.

Most of the students of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program at the University of Nusantara PGRI Kediri assume that basic physics is a course with memorizing many formulas so that they have difficulty understanding the concept of physics. This study aims to develop a Physics practicum module for Mechanical Engineering and to know the feasibility value of the module. This study uses the development research method (RnD) of the Plomp model which consists of 3 stages, namely: The first stage of the initial investigation, the Second Stage of the preparation of the prototype, and the third stage of the assessment. From the results of the validation and analysis of the readability test, the average value of the feasibility of the Basic Physics module based on problem solving is 3.22 with feasible criteria, and the feasibility assessment for presentation is 3.55 with the appropriate criteria. So that overall the feasibility assessment of the Basic Physics module is problem solving based on 3.39 with a decent criteria. While the results of student satisfaction data analysis on the use of the Basic Physics module based on problem solving obtained 83% stated very well and the remaining 17% stated good. The product of the development is in the form of a basic Physics practicum module for Mechanical Engineering. From the data analysis it can be concluded that the feasibility assessment of the overall development module is feasible to develop. Keywords: module, research development, problem solving, satisfaction questionnaire.  Abstrak Sebagian besar mahasiswa Program Studi Tehnik Mesin Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri beranggapan bahwa fisika dasar merupakan mata kuliah dengan hafalan rumus yang banyak sehingga mereka kesulitan untuk memahami konsep fisika tersebut.
