<![CDATA[Budaya kewirausahaan mahasiswa di Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Medan, khususnya di Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Bangunan (pendidikan kejuruan dan teknik sipil), berpotensi untuk dikembangkan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Medan adalah kecenderungan lulusan mencari kerja di perusahaan jasa konstruksi bagi lulusan teknik sipil dan menjadi guru SMK bagi lulusan pendidikan kejuruan, bukan menciptakan lapangan kerja. Membudayakan kewirausahaan mahasiswa diperlukan wadah unit usaha furnitur yang bersinergi dengan workshop kayu. Melalui Program Pengembangan Usaha Produk Intelektual Kampus (PPUPIK) Kemenristekdikti 2018, tim pelaksana pengabdian kepada masyarakat telah berhasil mendirikan Unit Usaha Furnitur. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participatory Learning and Action. Metode ini juga disebut metode ‘learning by doing’ atau belajar sambil bekerja. Rangkaian pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat terdiri dari: a) sosialisasi kegiatan PPUPIK kepada mahasiswa, dosen, dan teknisi, b) perekrutan mahasiswa calon wirausaha, c) magang, d) pelatihan, dan e) pendampingan. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian adalah unit usaha furnitur telah menemukan 7 orang mahasiswa yang berkomitmen menekuni pekerjaan pembuatan furnitur dan telah menghasilkan produk furnitur, secara kolaborasi dan mandiri. Selanjutnya, telah berhasil melatih 27 orang mahasiswa yang mampu mendesain dan membuat ukiran Jepara. Kegiatan pengabdian ini masih memerlukan keberlanjutan agar dapat menemukan mahasiswa yang berjiwa kewirausahaan lebih banyak lagi.Kata kunci: Budaya Kewirausahaan; Unit Usaha; Furniture; Mahasiswa.AbstractThe entrepreneurial culture of students at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Medan, especially in the Department of Building Engineering Education (vocational education and civil engineering), has the potential resources to be developed.
