This paper discusses about of designing mathematics learning for technology vocational school students. The two-variable linear equation system is one of the topics taught to students in vocational schools. Learning the topic of two-variable linear equation systems has been designed by linking problems to the mechanical and automotive engineering expertise program. This is done so students are aware of the need to learn mathematics, especially SPLDV material. This learning design has been developed through a research development involving 42 students from SMK 1 Padang. Data was collected through observation, interviews, field notes and analysis of test results. The results of this study indicate that the SPLDV learning design linking problems to the mechanical engineering expertise program can help students develop their problem mathematics skills. Through this research it is also known that this learning design has also been able to increase the interest of vocational school students towards mathematics.
