Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA—Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering study program, Faculty of Engineering (FT) UNESA held a Final Project Exhibition and Bazaar with the theme "Bright Future Comes From Simple Ideas ” in the Lobby of Building A6 and Building A7 FT, UNESA Campus I Ketintang, on Wednesday, 13 December 2023.
This activity is a form of UNESA's full implementation of Independent Campus Learning (MBKM), one of which is through the implementation Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning to balance students' soft skills and hard skills.
The Final Project Exhibition and Bazaar displays various products as the output of teaching and learning activities (KBM) which have fully implemented the PBL learning model. Such as final projects for courses in Physics, Life Sciences, Machine Element Design, Entrepreneurship and Welding Design.
The inaugural event was attended by Coordinator of the S-1 Mechanical Engineering Study Program, Priyo Heru Adiwibowo, S.T., M.T., Coordinator of S-1 Study Program 1 Mechanical Engineering Education, Wahyu Dwi Kurniawan, S.Pd., M.Pd., and several course lecturers such as Ika Nurjannah S.Pd. M.T. Handini Novita Sari, S.Pd., M.T., Novi Sukma Drastiawati, S.T., M.Eng., Prof. Dr. Muhaji, S.T. M.T., Bima Anggana Widhiarta Putra, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Ahmad Saepuddin, S.T., M.Sc.
Bellina Yunitasari, as PIC stated, each group of students presented their final project designs. each with various variations. "There are those who display prototypes with the application of the laws of physics, posters, videos, welding designs, and there are those who display their startup products from the results of studying entrepreneurship, etc.," he said.
Bellina added, even though it is an activity first but still lively because it was attended by various classes with details of 8 physics classes for the class of 2023, 8 life science classes for the class of 2023, 3 entrepreneurship classes for the class of 2021, and 1 welding design class for the class of 2021.
"They have characteristics each class, for example physics and life sciences, makes products that apply the laws of physics and science to life. "Meanwhile, the welding design class also displays designs resulting from the welding carried out," he said.
He also appreciated the enthusiasm of the participants, he stated that the participants in this activity had high interest thanks to the wide opportunity to explore ideas, realize work and presented their original work to visitors.
"The output of the activity is in the form of prototypes, modules, videos, posters, which can then be registered for copyright if their originality is proven," he said.
Bellina revealed that there were a number of outcomes for students from the 2023 Final Project Expo and Bazaar activities, including:
Functional prototype. Students are able to produce a prototype that can function in accordance with the specified design and specifications.
Concept verification. Afterwards, they must prove that the proposed concept or applied physical theory can be implemented successfully in the form of a prototype.
Validation of physical theory. If the project involves the application of a particular physical theory, then the desired outcome is validation that the theory can be applied correctly in practical situations.
Design improvements. Through the first to third outcomes, participants will gain new insights from implementing prototypes to improve or improve product or concept designs.
Good teamwork. Participants must also be able to foster student synergy to produce work. Better understanding. The activity is also designed to increase understanding of the physical phenomena involved and their application in real-world situations.
Availability for further development. Finally, students must be able to create prototypes that can be used as a basis for further research and development, or for use in practical applications.
As a first activity, in the future Bellina hopes that this activity will not only be a fulfillment of the assessment of the final assignment of a semester course project. . But it can be developed into an annual exhibition event which also displays students' final thesis projects accompanied by guest lecturers on the event agenda.
"My hope is that this activity will become a habit in the mechanical engineering environment, so that students are motivated to produce work extraordinary work, and not just learning theory," he said. []
