This activity has a positive impact on all societies, individuals and students involved in their success. Among the significant impacts of the students involved in this activity is to enhance the generic skills development of the team in terms of teamwork and problem solving skills in any field. In this study, the data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to 217 Electrical Engineering students from two to four semester at Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Polytechnic (PSMZA) to obtain information about the impact of teamwork and problem solving skills. The raw data obtained was processed using the SPSS version 23 software and used the Likert scale 4 for each question chosen. Data analysis showed that the mean value of the impact of community service activities on teamwork skills was 3.26 and problem solving skills (3.68) where it was stand in high level for two to four semester electrical engineering students. The results of the t-test experiments found that there was no significant difference between male and female students on the impact of community activities on the components of teamwork skills where p> 0.05 and there is little difference between male and female students for problem solving skills where p <0.05. It is thus envisaged that this community service activity is crucial to be applied to all polytechnic students as a condition of awarding diploma and in line with the requirement of the National Education Philosophy to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced.

In order to realize this study, various metadological methods have been highlighted for intensive them is to distribute questionnaires to students of IPS who are currently undergoing the PUB2014 module, Human Development, adapting the theory learned by exposing the students IPS2-S1 to Demong Beach Resort Besut, Terengganu and students of IPS2-S2 went to the Woman's Welfare Association and Poverty Permata Al-Insyirah, Kuantan. Students were also given assignments and present the findings of the theory that have been learned and applied through "oral presentation" and using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 23 instrument to analyze the distributed questionnaire data. The findings of human development studies from the concept of "soft skills" find that human resource development is regarded as a lubricant as well as a generator within an organization also a catalyst for changes in human resource behavior within the organization, especially the students of IPS2-S1 and IPS2-S2 in Politeknik Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin (PSMZA). This is because IPS students have developed effective and productive communication skills for orphans and their environment.
