Development of ergonomic website for engineering education

Abstract

Abstract. Engineering education contains two aspects; theory and practice. Practice activity supports the students to implement the theory obtained in the class. Therefore, it will be better if the theory has material visualization in order to support and make easier the student and lecturer in teaching activity. Analisis Perancangan Kerja dan Ergonomi (APK & E) is one of the laboratories in Industrial Engineering, Universitas Islam Indonesia. APK & E laboratory which uses website as a tool to communicate to the students. Currently, the existing website still show standard display by conventional way. Based on the questionnaire, the student difficult to understand the material especially for Micromotion Study since this material requires the video to show the student in assembly activity. Augmented Reality (AR) combines the real and virtual objects that interactive in the real time and registered in 3D space. AR also combines the real and virtual in displaying information in the real time, in a way that enhances the individual abilities to operate the system in the real world. The system which combines between AR and Micromotion Study was come up. The required software to develop the online AR system is FLARToolKit 2.5.1. In this research, marker detection accuracy measurement of the used toolkit has been conducted and it showed 85% of accuracy level.

Connecting Specific Knowledge Areas Throughout Core Courses in Biological and Agricultural Engineering

“…This may result in some alumni engineers having to learn the software in post-graduation opportunities or internships. This underutilization of computer skills in some of the BAE courses have challenged the students with class examples and homework problems that require the use of the software practice based on today job market needs [29], [30]. Therefore, the need to invest in and investigate this knowledge gap is a critical issue that has been highlighted in this study.…”
