The paper presents the integrated model of industrial practice program and final project course as a solution to shorten the time consumed in doing Diploma 3 in Mechanical Engineering. The model was implemented in UPT Logam Yogyakarta,where four D3 students did their IP Program. Along the students doing the program, they designed a machine as the final project. Through an intensive supervision by their industrial supervisor and lecturer, the machine was finished in 4,5 mounts. It is reduced almost 50% of the time needed to do the project in regular way. The result of the study suggested that at the beginning of sem IV (January-April), can be started from registration-briefing-correspondence with industries. In May-June, student's choice - assigning a letter of assignment to the supervisor and determining the location of the IP Program. IP Program should be in line with its concentration. In July-August IP Program implementation, students work on the final project at the industries and the supervisor interacts with the FPC supervisor. End of August IP Program report can be completed first. Sem V (Sep- Dec) students continue to make project work in the industry. Sem VI (Jan-July) writing FPC report and doing FPC Examination. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
