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.

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.

This project describes the collaboration of two instructors, one from the mechanical engineering department and one from the mathematics department with a group of mechanical engineering students to build and analyze a new type of transportation transmission. Current transmissions have torque limitations when working at various vehicle loading conditions. The ideal vehicle transmission is a continuously variable transmission that delivers optimum torque at any loading condition. The motivation for this research project is to design a new transmission that would increase the number of gear ratios using a chain element, and consequentially, increasing the number of available torques to achieve better overall vehicle performance. The new transmission consists of two planetary gears systems linked by a chain. It includes multiple inputs and outputs with the possibility of using one of the outputs to drive other engine components. The system is currently investigated for all possible gear ratios and usable torque configurations. The gear ratios are determined using Willis’s formula for planetary gear systems. All possible gear combinations are investigated and their gear ratios mathematically determined. A prototype was designed and built. It is being automatized, currently.

The computer-aided design programs such as Solidwork flow simulation (SWFS) provide powerful, engaging, hands-on software to understand and develop designs for the real world. SWFS can be considered as a virtual laboratory. The purpose of this study is to show that using SWFS will help the undergraduate students to understand the concepts of fluid dynamic course in the Mechanical Engineering Department. This paper presents an example of the effect of both the temperature and density on the stream flow characteristics around a vertical axis wind turbine using SWFS. Moreover, the use of the SWFS in engineering education is shown by an important experiment taken from the field of mechanical engineering.Keywords: Fluid dynamic, mechanical engineering, SWFS, virtual laboratory.
