Implementation of technopreneurship scientific learning for produce electronic product prototypes in engineering education

Abstract

This research aims to describe the implementation of the technopreneurship scientific learning for produce electronic product prototypes in engineering education. This research method uses a research and development approach. In this research development approach is carried out in 3 stages, namely: Phase I needs analysis and model design, Phase II develops with validity and practicality, and Phase III will implement the model. This research will only focus on phase III, namely the implementation of the model, which involves 40 students taking entrepreneurship subjects in engineering education at Bung Hatta University, Padang, Indonesia. As a result of the activities of technopreneurship scientific learning, students produce prototypes of electronic products that have commercial potential. One of the results of technopreneurship scientific learning is a prototype of an electronic product in the form of a water detector in the bath. The implementation of this tool was tested and analyzed with the Electronics Workbench software version 5.12. The measurement results from the implementation in the field show that electronic products have worked well and after the measurements are made, students make a business plan of the product, which is a water detector. A business plan that has been made has been through consumer needs analysis.
