Mahasiswa yang mempelajari bidang teknik memerlukan kemampuan analitis, matematika, kreativitas, pemecahan masalah, komunikasi, dan kerja sama tim yang kuat sehingga membutuhkan keterampilan sains yang memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keterampilan sains mahasiswa Teknik Mesin dalam mempelajari topik bahan teknik logam fero dan non-fero, yang mencakup kemampuan mengajukan pertanyaan, melakukan observasi, berkomunikasi, menginterpretasikan data, dan menerapkan konsep. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif, melibatkan 18 mahasiswa Teknik Mesin Universitas Hasyim Asy’ari sebagai subjek penelitian. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket berbasis skala Likert 1-5, yang telah divalidasi oleh ahli. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan sains mahasiswa secara keseluruhan berada pada kategori sedang, dengan mayoritas skor terkonsentrasi pada tingkat 2 dan 3 di semua aspek yang diukur. Tidak ada satupun mahasiswa yang memberikan nilai sempurna (skor 5) pada indikator mana pun, yang menunjukkan adanya celah antara pemahaman teoritis dan penerapan praktis. Aspek observasi dan interpretasi data memperoleh skor relatif lebih rendah, mengindikasikan perlunya pengembangan lebih lanjut dalam kemampuan analisis dan komunikasi hasil. Temuan ini merekomendasikan adanya inovasi dalam proses pembelajaran, seperti penerapan pembelajaran berbasis proyek (project-based learning) dan pendekatan kolaboratif yang lebih intensif. Strategi tersebut diharapkan mampu menciptakan pengalaman belajar yang kontekstual, sehingga dapat meningkatkan keterampilan sains mahasiswa teknik secara lebih komprehensif dan efektif, sekaligus mempersiapkan mereka menghadapi tuntutan dunia kerja.

Students studying engineering require strong analytical, mathematical, creative, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills, thus requiring adequate science skills. This study aims to analyze the science skills of Mechanical Engineering students in studying the topic of ferrous and non-ferrous metal engineering materials, which include the ability to ask questions, make observation, communicate, interpret data, and apply concepts. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive method, involving 18 Mechanical Engineering students of Hasyim Asy'ari University as research subjects. Data were collected through a questionnaire a using a 5-point Likert scale , which has been validated by experts. The results showed that students' overall science skills were in the moderate category, with the majority of scores concentrated at levels 2 and 3 across all measured aspects. No students achieved the maximum score (5) on any indicator, indicating a gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. The aspects of observation and data interpretation scored relatively lower, indicating a need for further development in analytical and communication skills. These findings suggest innovations in the learning process, such as the implementation of project-based learning and a more intensive collaborative approach. These strategies are expected to create contextual learning experiences, thereby enhancing engineering students' science skills more comprehensively and effectively, while simultaneously preparing them for the demands of the workplace.
