Pembekalan Teknologi Informasi Untuk Menyongsong Era Industri 4.0 Pada Siswa SMK Muhammadiyah Piyungan

Abstract

Indonesia is facing the Industrial Revolution 4.0, an era where technological
developments are applied to various aspects, including manufacturing with artificial
intelligence (AI) support which is also supported by internet of things (IoT) technology,
human-machine interfaces, robotic and sensor technology, and three-dimensional (3D)
printing technology that supports the industry. Changes in the world of work that are
influenced by the Industrial Revolution 4.0 are challenges for Vocational High School
(SMK) graduates. This is because many fields of work that have been filled with human labor
have been replaced by technology, machines, robots, or artificial intelligence. As a result,
many graduates who should be able to work immediately are threatened to be unemployed.
Efforts to be able to compete in the Industrial Revolution, educational institutions play
an important role. They must be able to equip their students the abilities to keep up with
changes that occur quickly. As an anticipation, SMK Muhammadiyah Piyungan held a
briefing activity with a face-to-face lecture methodology so that there was an interactive
between students and the presenters.
The results of this community service are expected to provide provisions for students
to become competent and ready to work in that era. For institutions, the results are expected
to provide inputs, in the form of overviews, to the curriculum makers in accordance with the
Industrial Revolution era
