Service Learning of Heat Transfer Class in Kebontunggul village

Heat Transfer class was adopting Service Learning methode last year. The students learn not only heat transfer itself, but they also learn how to apply it to an oven needed by a community in a village called Kebontunggul. The students in three groups visited the village, discussed with the villagers, and designed the oven used to dry crackers’ paste made from corn, cassava, and rice flour. Once the design was ready, the students went to workshop to manufacture the ovens. The oven was tested before sent to the village. They learned that it was difficult to make those cheap crackers. They learned a lot from the villagers in social interpersonal, social intrapersonal, emotional, and cognitive process. They are thankful to God for their being and grateful for this Service Learning class. A student even wrote, “I had changed motivation from just pursuing grade to seriously helping villagers”.
