Abstract

Vocational education provides necessary education and skills, which is directed at the mastery of certain expertise. As the learning outcome of this education, the graduates of Politeknik Mekatronika Sanata Dharma have been able to solve engineering problems in terms of maintenance and repair, operation, and assembly of industrial automation machines. For this reason, problem solving skills are important to learn. This paper presents a research on the effect of developing TRIZ-based competency test material on improving problem solving skills. The subjects of this study were 60 students of Politeknik Mekatronika Sanata Dharma. After several TRIZ-based competency tests, the results revealed that the problem solving skills of students on the basis of a systematic approach have increased, while problem solving on the basis of intuition (trial and error) have decreased.

Highlights

National standards of higher education in Indonesia aim to ensure the achievement of higher education goals that play a strategic role in the intellectual life of the nation, advancing science and technology

Summary

Introduction

National standards of higher education in Indonesia aim to ensure the achievement of higher education goals that play a strategic role in the intellectual life of the nation, advancing science and technology. The competency test must be able to demonstrate the ability of students to find problems that occur in the machine and provide a solution to the problem That when they have graduated and work in the industry as a technician, if the production machines are in trouble, they can find the problems that occur and provide solutions precisely and quickly. The TRIZ method develops material by registering various possibilities that can occur by taking into account all available resources. It is more structured and based on logic and data, not intuition or brainstorming. The development of the TRIZ-based competency test material in this research focuses on the competency test for the Automation System Maintenance Technician Cluster scheme at Sanata Dharma Polytechnic of Mechatronics (PMSD).
