The “Crown” of Water Resources Management Study Program FPIK UNDIP Talks about its Alma mater

by | Jul 6, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG – Profiles and figures of alumni of higher education institutions are not only recognized as one of the pillars of performance, alumni profiles are also often associated as the “Crown of Higher Education Institutions”. Therefore, it is not surprising that rating agencies include the profile of graduates of higher education institutions as an important element in their ranking. Citing an expression that is often conveyed by the Chancellor of Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, SH., M. Hum, that “The crown of a great teacher lies in the ability to print works”; It is no exaggeration to say that “The Crown of Higher Education Institutions Is Its Ability to Print Its Graduates”.

In that context, it is interesting to observe how the comments and opinions of the “Crowns” of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP towards their alma mater. Since its establishment in 1978, thousands of alumni have graduated from FPIK UNDIP, and they have joined a group called “Kerapu” (Undip Fisheries Alumni Family). Gait grouper members are also very diverse. In addition to fisheries and marine affairs which are their main expertise, many have careers in non-fishery private companies, some are ASN (State Civil Apparatus) in government institutions, bankers, entrepreneurs, politicians, educators, researchers, professionals in mining companies, startup owners, and many other specific professions involved.

The Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Ir. Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc., Ph.D, said the position of alumni is not only as a crown, but as a partner as well as a reflector. As a crown, the achievements of the alumni provide an illustration through their achievements; while the function as a reflector is to strengthen the competence of lecturers whether they are able to provide good provisions to graduates. Meanwhile, as partners, because in the implementation of the teaching and learning process we definitely need field practice, especially with the new policy related to the Independent Learning of the Independent Campus (MBKM), the role of alumni as partners is very important. “All of that will be seen, therefore I personally think these three things emphasize the importance of the role of alumni for higher education institutions,” said Tri Winarni Agustini, Monday (5/7/2021). Furthermore, the Dean of FPIK UNDIP emphasized that in the context of the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) which is the right of students to study three semesters outside the program, the existence of alumni is very important. In the implementation of MBKM, synergy with alumni is a necessity. “With the implementation of MBKM, we must partner with alumni, especially those in the business and corporate sectors,” she said.

Based on the opinions and comments that have been collected from the alumni of Water Resources Management (MSP) FPIK UNDIP, the majority of alumni contacted said they were satisfied and happy with the higher education program organized by FPIK UNDIP. They are also proud and able to graduate from PTN BH (Legal Entity State University) in Semarang City, Central Java Province. The educational materials, knowledge and experience gained during the study period are also felt to be helpful and an important provision for them when they take part in the community.

Titus Pramono, S.Pi, a graduate of MSP Class of 1998 who has a career at the Directorate General of Marine Spatial Management, Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) explained what he learned while studying at MSP FPIK UNDIP. ”The MSP Study Program is a combination of basic fisheries, students are equipped to compete in water management, coastal management, aquaculture and capture fisheries. At first I worked in a shrimp hatchery business and was able to adapt and work. When I entered the Directorate General of Marine Spatial Management of KKP in coastal management, I was able to adapt and work. UNDIP’s MSP is indeed great,” said Pramono.

Rezha Mahardika, S.Pi., M.Sc, is an alumnus of the 2004 MSP class who has a career in a “different” sector with his knowledge. Currently he is in the mining business as the owner of PT Mahardika Sukses Sejahtera (MSS) which is engaged in the Oil and Gas Mining Sector. “Scientific studies, the adaptation process and all the complexities that I went through in the MSP study program of the Department of Aquatic Resources FPIK UNDIP gave me a high level of confidence to be able to master new things that I am currently working on. And this is my biggest asset to achieve my life goals. Thank you MSP Department of Aquatic Resources FPIK UNDIP. Spirit Forward,” said Rezha.

Dr. Rizky Muliani Dwi Ujiti, S.Pi., MSi. Graduates of Water Resources Management (MSP) Class of 2004, have a different opinion. A lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering and Informatics, Universitas PGRI Semarang (UPGRIS), admitted that studying at MSP FPIK UNDIP forged her into a tough, strong and unyielding person. “The knowledge gained is very useful for my self-development as a lecturer in the tri dharma of higher education, namely teaching, researching and serving the community. At MSP we are always taught to work together in teams during lectures and practical work in the field, this is very useful for me in completing my assignments in the office that require collaborating with colleagues,” she said.

FPIK UNDIP graduates are also not a few who are entrepreneurs. Those who do entrepreneurship also have a big role to play in building the nation and state. Because, they are able to give work to other people. It is Pintya D Wanita Ayu Pratesthi, S.Pi is one of them. This 2012 MSP alumnus is the owner of Pratesthi Batik, Craft, Ecoprint, Semarang. ”Many people think studying at MSP will only get knowledge about water management. But it’s actually more than that. This campus also provides opportunities and experiences in developing soft skills. Lectures and field practicum activities that hone character, communication skills, leadership spirit, and form work ethics are important provisions for my current business,” said Ayu Pratesthi.

Another entrepreneur who also graduated from UNDIP MSP is Adnan Arsani Hirmawan, S.Pi. This 2012 MSP alumnus is now the CEO of PT Pico Biru Tekno. ”From studying at the UNDIP MSP Study Program, I realized that Water Resources in Indonesia are very rich and there are still many that have not been utilized optimally. Alhamdulillah, armed with knowledge and relationships during college, I was able to build & develop a startup company in the field of Microalgae Biotechnology which is a potential marine fishery resource in Indonesia,” he said.

Head of the Department of Aquatic Resources FPIK UNDIP, Dr. Ir. Suryanti MPi, believes that all alumni have advantages and disadvantages. “The willingness to keep learning is one of the keys to success. Meanwhile, interaction with the alma mater will be a mutually reinforcing partnership,” she said. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)

Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021: UNDIP is ranked 6th in Indonesia

Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021: UNDIP is ranked 6th in Indonesia

by | Jun 7, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG -​ Times Higher Education (THE) again issued ranking results for the Asian level in early June 2021. The results put Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in 6th position in Indonesia and 401+ in Asia. The Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2021 uses 13 performance indicators that are also used to carry out a global ranking by providing specially calibrated weights to reflect the priorities of educational institutions in Asia.

The strict assessment carried out by THE made only 9 universities in Indonesia that managed to enter the rankings based on the ranking order, namely the University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology, Surabaya Institute of Technology, Gadjah Mada University, Bogor Agricultural University, Diponegoro University, Padjadjaran University, Telkom University and Brawijaya University. University of Indonesia is in the top position with a total score of 32,9. THE assesses 13 performance indicators covering four main missions of higher education, namely teaching, research, transfer of knowledge to the wider community and international engagement. This year, UNDIP managed to achieve a fairly high score on citations and research.

UNDIP is in the 401+ position with an overall range of 12,9-21,6 and an overall calculation of 19,8. Citation 15; industrial income (transfer of knowledge to the industrial world); 43,2, international outlook (calculated based on the ratio of the number of teachers, students, foreign staff and international cooperation) 26,5; research 12,8 and teaching 24,9.

The Head of the UNDIP Rating Office, Prof. Dr. Denny Nugroho, ST., M.Si, said that THE refers to the order of letters (alphabet) for the group with the same range, namely 401+ with an overall score of 12,9-21,6. Meanwhile, if the data is calculated and analyzed based on the Citation (30%), Industry income (7,5%), International outlook (7,5%), Research (30%), Teaching (25%), then the total score of UNDIP is 19,8 so that it ranks 6th nationally. 

“We have done the calculations and sorted based on the total score. If we are not careful and careful we can misinterpret it. Some media usually only look at the order on the website to see the ranking order,” said Prof. Denny Nugroho, Sunday (6/6/2021).

The current ranking results are one of the important references used by students and their families in choosing a university. The government and universities also use THE ranking results as a reference for various policies. The high need for ranking results is evidenced by the high number of visits to the THE World University Rankings website, where in a year the number of visits reaches almost 30 million.

UNDIP Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, SH., M.Hum, emphasized that the university he currently leads continues to make improvements so that the qualifications of graduates and their learning process are getting better and in accordance with the goals outlined. “We continue to encourage the qualifications of lecturers with the one professor one candidate program. For research, not only lecturers and researchers who continue to produce reputable scientific works, we also encourage and facilitate students so that they can produce innovative works that are beneficial to the community, “said Prof. Yos Johan.

University performance is important in preparing superior human resources, as well as developing knowledge. As an illustration of how important it is to strengthen higher education institutions, the Japanese government announced plans to increase the allocation of an endowment fund of £70 billion for research at universities in response to the rising performance of public universities’ rankings which had fallen in recent years.

Three Student Diver FPIK UNDIP Search for Drowning Victims in Kedung Ombo Reservoir to Received Appreciation from the Rector

Three Student Diver FPIK UNDIP Search for Drowning Victims in Kedung Ombo Reservoir to Received Appreciation from the Rector

by | May 27, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG – The sinking of the boat in the Kedung Ombo Reservoir, Kemusu District, Boyolali Regency has attracted a sense of humanity for everyone. One of them is three students from the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP). They are Abat (23) Nabil (20), and Zigro (23) who are members of the UKSA-387 (Water Dive Activity Unit) UNDIP.

On Sunday (16/5/2021) at 09.30 WIB, Abat and Nabil dived at the location of the tour boat reversing, while Zigro was on standby on the mainland of the reservoir area to monitor and communicate with his two colleagues during the dive. Diving in the Kedung Ombo Reservoir was the first experience in a Search and Rescue operation to search for drowned victims.

The FPIK UNDIP student told that he first received news from a UKSA senior who is currently working with SAR in the Central Java region to join SAR operations in Kedung Ombo. At the time of the incident, Central Java SARDA was in need of divers to search for drowning victims.

Nabil and Abat did a dive for about 25 minutes at a depth of 25 meters. “At a depth of 15 meters to the surface the visibility is not good, then during the dive we followed the tide path at the bottom, at that moment we found a small child’s hood, which was gray,” said Nabil. “But we also don’t know whether the veil belonged to the victim,” added this Marine Science Study Program student. “So the relationship with SAR has been a long time. Especially with regard to evacuation in the waters, from the Central Java SAR Team, we are often involved, “explained Nabil. When the Lion Air plane crashed on October 29, 2018, in the Java Sea north of Karawang, West Java, UKSA-387 also sent personnel there. “We dispatched members there. In fact, very often we have participated in rescue and search activities.”

Hearing the stories of these three FPIK UNDIP students, UNDIP’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, S.H., M.Hum, gave his appreciation to the students who were members of the UKSA-387 Student Activity Unit (UKM). The action carried out by UKSA-387 personnel was seen by the Rector as a concern for humanitarian problems and should be used as an example.

As a token of appreciation, Thursday (27/5/2021) the Rector gave an official certificate from UNDIP which declared them “Heroes of Humanity”. The charter was given directly by the Rector to Muhammad Ramadhan (S1 Oceanography 2016), Bariq Nabil Ramadhan (S1 Marine Science 2018) and Zigro Taqwagie (S1 Ocean Science 2019).

In his statement, Prof. Yos praised the actions taken by the members of UKSA-387 UNDIP. “The university appreciates what you do. Because they are more concerned with the safety of other people’s souls. You have a soul that cares for others. As the Chancellor, I thank you for setting a good example to other students and others, “said the Rector.

The Rector said that all student and lecturer activities in the humanitarian sector were a concrete form of UNDIP’s Tri Dharma to the community. Therefore, the university always supports and encourages the academic community to carry out social and humanitarian actions.

UKSA-387 UNDIP was founded in March 1987. Currently, the number of active members is around 25 people. There are five specializations in this UKM forum, namely scientific diving (diving activities related to science), underwater photography, underwater work (related to commercial workers), SAR, and championships (athletes). UKSA members all have diving licenses.

For training, especially related to SAR, it was carried out by seniors. “We are trained to find victims in the water, first rescue victims found, and so on.” So the team gets used to helping accidents in the water, ”said Zigro. Meanwhile, Nabil added, if every time you take part in evacuating victims in the waters, UKSA-387 has its own tools. “We have our own diving equipment, when we get a call, we prepare our own equipment.” We also have our own base camp. However, there is no rubber boat. If in the field, there is a SAR team, so we use their ships, “said Nabil who is also the Deputy Chairperson of UKSA-387.

For practice, the team has a continuous schedule. Usually, the team trains in the Kodam IV / Diponegoro swimming pool and also in a number of waters. UKSA membership is open to Undip students from all faculties. Quoted from manunggal.undip.ac.id, the birth of UKM UKSA-387 was due to the great desire and curiosity as well as the strong spirit of adventure under water. The first UKSA-387 alumni were Gatot (Faculty of Law), Antok (FPIK), Rifki (Faculty of Medicine) & several students from the Civil Engineering Department, who agreed to form a diving UKM.

In these early days, almost every month UKSA-387 held expeditions to various islands in Java such as the Karimunjawa Islands, Nusa Kambangan Island, Bawean Island, and the Thousand Islands. Expeditions are also often carried out outside Java, such as in Sanur, Nusa Penida on the island of Bali, and Gili Air, Trawangan, Meno, Sugiri, and East Lombok, on the island of Lombok.
