Prof Tri Winarni: Exposing Masculine Impressions in FPIK UNDIP

Prof Tri Winarni: Exposing Masculine Impressions in FPIK UNDIP

FPIK, SEMARANG – The momentum of the appointment of Prof. Ir Tri Winarni Agustini M.Sc, Ph.D as Dean of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) for the 2019-2024 period seems to reveal the impression that the world of fisheries and marine is the world of men. At least the masculine impression in the fisheries and marine higher education environment dissipated when the UNDIP Rector, Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, took Prof. Winarni’s oath as the first person in FPIK.

The transfer of leadership from Prof. Dr. Ir Agus Sabdono M.Sc to Prof. Tri Winarni Agustini which took place at the SA-MWA Building (Academic Senate-Board of Trustees) of UNDIP Tembalang, Monday (05/08/2019) was also recorded as the presence of the first woman in Dean Chair of FPIK UNDIP. “If I become the first woman to become a Dean since FPIK UNDIP was born, that is true. But if the presence of women in the world of fisheries and marine affairs, especially in their scientific context, I think it is common, ”said the Fish Processing Technology expert who was born in Kebumen, August 21, 1965.

After graduating from SMA Negeri 1 Kebumen, in 1984 Winarni entered the Department of Fisheries at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, UNDIP. After earning an engineering degree in 1989, young Winarni chose to serve at her alma mater as a lecturer. This choice gave him the opportunity to study at a higher level.

In 1991 she had the opportunity to study at the University of Humberside, England and completed the Master of Food Science and Technology program in 1993. As for the Strata 3 level was undertaken at the Tokyo University of Fisheries-TUF (now Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology-TUMSAT), Japan and successfully bagged a Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy) in 2001. “Further studies abroad are interesting. But we also have to be aware of the many challenges that must be faced, ”she said, reminding us of the need to get used to seeing one thing from several sides.

SHe achieved the highest achievement for an academic position as a professor in December 2017 and on Wednesday (14/3/2018) Tri Winarni was confirmed as a Professor at FPIK UNDIP. The scientific speech with the theme “Future Food Products Based on Fish Resources” which he presented at the Open Senate Session at Prof. Soedarto SH Building, UNDIP Tembalang Campus, marked the validity of using the title Prof. in front of her name.

Apparently, it is not only the academic career of the authors of dozens of scientific journals and reviewers of these journals. Her structural career at the Diponegoro Campus has also progressed well. Before being sworn in to become Dean of FPIK for the 2019-2024 period, the owner of NIDN (National Lecturer Number) 0021086501 was entrusted with being the Secretary of the PSP Study Program (Utilization of Fishery Resources, now a Capture Fisheries Study Program) in 2001-2003; then became Secretary of the THP (Fishery Product Technology) Study Program in the 2003 – 2007 period; in 2007-2010 he became an expert staff of the Research Institute and in 2016-2019 assumed the mandate as Secretary of the LPPM (Institute for Research and Community Service) UNDIP.

Now, as the first person in FPIK who manages 10 study programs and has the resources of 19 professors and 55 lecturers with doctoral degrees, Prof. Winarni who is also active in the field of Halal Food (representative of the Center for Halal Studies UNDIP) strives so that not only the quality of education and accreditation is superior , but also must strive so that the existing study programs are better known and closer to the community. Tri Winarni, who lived from childhood to adolescence in the southern coastal region of Java, invited young people to plunge into managing the enormous potential of Indonesia’s seas and waters for mutual welfare.

“Who should manage the potential of our oceans and waters if not the nation’s children? How come we want to let foreigners enjoy our marine wealth? Our sea is very rich, wide and sufficient for the welfare of our nation’s citizens, ”She said excitedly.

She explained, FPIK UNDIP is a campus that is ready to educate young people to study fisheries and marine affairs. In the undergraduate program, there are six study programs that can be selected, starting from the Aquaculture Study Program, the Aquatic Resources Management Study Program, the Oceanography Study Program, the Capture Fisheries Study Program, the Fisheries Product Technology Study Program, and the Marine Science Study Program. “For the undergraduate level, we are quite complete. It should be noted, the Oceanography Study Program is only at UNDIP and ITB, “She said.

For the postgraduate level, at the Masters level there is a Master Program in Marine Science and a Masters in Aquatic Resources Management. Meanwhile, at the S3 level there is a Doctoral Program in Aquatic Resources Management and a Doctoral Program in Marine Science. To be sure, as the organizer of higher education, FPIK Undip also conducts a lot of research on fisheries and marine, both independently and in collaboration with other parties. FPIK also has a Scopus indexed scientific journal, namely the IJMS Journal (Indonesian Journal of Marine Science) as well as several nationally accredited journals (Sinta 2 and 3) to be proud of.

In the context of strengthening students’ insights, FPIK also always holds public lectures from highly competent speakers. Among them by inviting several experts from government agencies, practitioners as well as diaspora practitioners such as the Head of the Center for Hydrography and Oceanography of the Indonesian Navy (Kapushidrosal), Rear Admiral of the TNI Dr. Ir Harjo Susmoro SSos SH MH, Prof. Irwandi Jaswir, to provide understanding and additional insight and introduction the real world in the industry to students related to the development of science in the fields of fisheries and marine

“Cooperation with all institutions, both government and private, is a concrete step to bring the academic world closer to reality. Especially in the era of information technology that is so fast whacking. Synergy and collaboration are a necessity, “She said while pointing out some of the impacts of the disruption in the digital world.

Asked about the program during her tenure as Dean of FPIK, improving academic quality, be it teaching, research and community service is a priority that cannot be negotiated. Quality is not only the curriculum and supporting facilities such as an updated laboratory; but also accreditation as a form of legal recognition must be achieved. “We strive so that all study programs at FPIK have superior accreditation from national and international institutions. Currently we are pioneering ASIIN international accreditation for IK, Oceanography and Aquaculture Study Programs. Hopefully this year or next year can be achieved. Building more partnerships with foreign universities is also important. Our direction is clear, contributes significantly to bringing UNDIP into World Class University, “She concluded.

UNDIP Finalizes Face-to-Face Lecture Scenarios

UNDIP Finalizes Face-to-Face Lecture Scenarios

FPIK, SEMARANG – Diponegoro University (UNDIP) is finalizing the scenario for the implementation of Face-to-Face Lectures (PTM) which is likely to be held in July 2021. PTM maturation is carried out to minimize the risks that may arise from these activities.

UNDIP Deputy Rector I for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Budi Setiyono PhD, said that it is possible that PTM will be held in July 2021. “However, UNDIP itself is still waiting for detailed implementation instructions from the Ministry of Education and Culture,” he said, Friday (9/4/2021).

According to him, the things needed to support the implementation of PTM continue to be identified and studied more deeply. Especially related to the possible risks it creates. University leaders are also discussing several scenarios for implementing PTM with the faculty and the Student Organization (Ormawa).

This process is important to anticipate the emergence of undesirable things in the implementation of PTM. However, currently the Covid-19 pandemic is still happening. “We are still talking about it, both in the UNDIP structural, academic senate, Semarang City Government and Central Java Provincial Government,” he explained.

Therefore, Undip did not want to rush in holding PTM trials, because there were a number of considerations. “One of the things that we have taken into consideration is, until last week there were still some of our staff who were positive for Covid-19. Two weeks ago, someone died, such as the late Prof. Miyasto (Professor of the Faculty of Economics and Business-Ed) due to Covid-19. So that we will take the safest steps.”

There are several steps to minimize the risk taken by the institution, such as vaccinating all lecturers and education staff. The university also suggested that students who want to take lectures offline must have been vaccinated. That way, the risks that may arise in face-to-face lectures can be reduced.

Another thing that is prepared by the university is the possibility of applying the odd-even system of chasing pattern model. A limiting model to reduce congestion and density in the PTM process. The model uses the student identification number that is owned, for example, when the PTM even number, the even number can follow it online. Vice versa. “It also considered the implications. For example, what is the nature of compulsory and additional offline lectures or what,” he added.

Interestingly, the university is also studying the Single Tuition Fee (UKT) related to the implementation of existing lectures. Input from students is currently being gathered to be processed as a consideration for the university in making UKT policies. (Source: undip.ac.id)

FPIK UNDIP Promotes Expertise Diving Certification in Karimunjawa

FPIK UNDIP Promotes Expertise Diving Certification in Karimunjawa

FPIK, SEMARANG – Competency Certification and Training Program which is one of the performance targets set by Diponegoro University (UNDIP) as the Legal Entity State University (PTNBH) with a target for the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) around 20% of graduates. FPIK has made various efforts to establish cooperation with domestic and foreign parties.

The activities of lectures, training and expertise diving certification held by the Marine Science Study Program FPIK UNDIP in the Karimunjawa Islands, Jepara, have been initiated since 2016 in collaboration with Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU) Japan. Apart from foreign students, the general public is also interested in participating in this certified training. Initially, expertise diving training was held to support the competence of Marine Science Study Program students, one of which is the ability to dive.

In addition to diving certification, FPIK UNDIP has held a competency certification for the National Potential Certification Agency (BNSP), which is related to the assessment of coral reef conditions in 2019, in collaboration with the LSP (Professional Certification Institute) LIPI Oceanographic Research Center. FPIK UNDIP currently also has a number of assessors related to these competencies. In 2021, FPIK UNDIP will continue to collaborate with LSP LIPI for competency tests in assessing the condition of coral reefs, mangroves, coral fish, megabenthos and seagrass. By equalizing the content of learning courses in the FPIK environment with competency test modules / materials, it will make it easier for non-experiential certification participants to take competency certification. The equalization of course materials and competency test materials will also be carried out in collaboration with other LSPs, such as LSP KP (Marine and Fisheries) so that they can be more efficient in terms of time and cost. Through this program it is expected to provide great benefits for the community, students and FPIK UNDIP in improving the quality of human resources in Indonesia.

Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Ir. Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc., Ph.D, said that in order to answer interests outside Marine Science students, since 2016 a certified diving training program for the public has been created. Hopefully in the near future we can realize collaboration with LIPI to carry out competency certification which is the result of equalizing the course curriculum with the competency test module so that it can be more efficient. It is hoped that this program will be of great benefit to students in obtaining a certificate companion certificate. We also open opportunities for students outside the study program and faculties and even universities.
Participants in this training and certification program are guided by reliable instructors (certified professional divers) as well as legally recognized assessors. For foreign students, the implementation time is adjusted to the summer vacation. For the expertise diving program, the “Introduction to Scientific Diving Program” which takes place every year, has produced dozens of SCUBA Diver who have the ability to know the environment and marine biota and contribute to the improvement of coral reefs, “said Prof. Tri Winarni, Thursday (11/3 / 2021).

He added that over time, this program could later be developed into an ecotourism package model with Karimunjawa and Semarang and its surroundings. So that the diving training program is offered to students and other young people who are interested in underwater exploration of Karimunjawa. “However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this program has been temporarily closed. Meanwhile, for FPIK UNDIP students, diving certification continues to comply with health protocols, “he explained.
For 2021, FPIK is considering the implementation of certification in collaboration with LIPI, while for expertise diving certification is still considering the possibility of its implementation. The faculty leadership considers input from various parties, as well as directions from university leaders regarding whether or not this program can be implemented for foreign students and the general public. This was done because there were many regulations that had to be fulfilled, especially if it involved foreign students.

Especially for expertise diving certification, each batch (trip) the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 25 people. This policy adapts to the number of existing dive coaches. Therefore, if the enthusiast exceeds the quota, several package trips will be made.

Asked about the amount of cost for the participants, Tri Winarni said it was affordable. Participants’ participation costs are allocated for accommodation during the program. “Very affordable. Even cheaper when compared to other similar programs, “he said.

What is the Aquaculture Study Program and Its Job Prospects?

FPIK, SEMARANG – (News source: kompas.com) Prospective students who will take the Computer-Based Written Examination (UTBK) and State Higher Education Entrance Joint Selection (SBMPTN) still have time to consider what study program (Prodi) to choose. The SBMPTN UTBK registration process will begin March 15 to April 1, 2021. Apart from knowing the capacity of the Study Program and its enthusiasts, the knowledge learned and job opportunities after graduation also need to be known. At Diponegoro University (UNDIP) Semarang, the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) has a number of study programs at the undergraduate level. Starting from Aquaculture, Aquatic Resources Management, Capture Fisheries, Marine Science, Oceanography and Fishery Product Technology.

The knowledge learned in the Aquaculture Study Program is broader than Fisheries studies. Apart from studying the potential of marine and fresh and brackish fisheries, Aquaculture students are also provided with knowledge about many activities. Among others: 1. Maintenance 2. Captive breeding 3. Breeding of marine and freshwater biota. Such as fish, shrimp, oysters, seaweed, and so on. The Head of the Aquaculture Department who is also the Head of the S1 Aquaculture Study Program (Prodi) FPIK Undip Sarjito explained, even though it is part of fisheries, Aquaculture is a fishery of the future.

“Currently, the world of Aquaculture is experiencing a very significant development, including the industry,” explained Sarjito, as quoted from the page undip.ac.id, Friday (12/3/2021). Currently there is a perception that Aquaculture only studies the cultivation of shrimp, grouper, milkfish, seaweed and others. In fact, there are many things that are learned in this study program, including: 1. Seed production 2. Feed 3. Measure of consumption 4. Facilities and infrastructure Differences in Aquaculture and Fisheries To distinguish Aquaculture and Fisheries, it can be seen from the indication of their emphasis in producing products. Fisheries tend to use the wild. Meanwhile, Aquaculture emphasizes its cultivation. “The end result can be the same, but the process is different,” added Sarjito.

The UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program was born based on the Decree of the Director General of DIKTI No. 473 / DIKTI / Kep / 1995 under the name Aquaculture Study Program. To face global challenges and existing developments, the nomenclature of Aquaculture Study Program was changed to Aquaculture Study Program. According to Sarjito, apart from being strict in maintaining quality, the Aquaculture Study Program also equips its students with knowledge that is relevant to the demands of the times. Students are also equipped with entrepreneurial knowledge. Especially those related to the potential of aquatic culture. Aquaculture work prospects for Aquaculture Study Program graduates are also recognized as equality in KKNI (Equivalent Level to Indonesian National Qualification Framework) with Level 6 of the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI). “Our priority is to prepare our curriculum for aquaculture entrepreneurs and developers. As well as a career as a researcher and consultant, manager, educator and instructor in aquaculture, ”said Sarjito.

It should be noted, KKNI is a qualification ranking for Indonesian human resources that juxtaposes, equalizes, and integrates the education sector with the training and work experience sectors in a work ability recognition scheme that is tailored to the structures in various work sectors.

Aquaculture Study Program in UNDIP Prepares Future Fisheries

Aquaculture Study Program in UNDIP Prepares Future Fisheries

FPIK, SEMARANG – The scope of study of the Undergraduate Program in Aquaculture, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) is wider than fisheries studies. In this study program, in addition to studying the potential of marine and fresh and brackish fisheries, students are also provided with knowledge about the maintenance, captivity and breeding of marine and freshwater biota such as fish, shrimp, oysters, seaweed, and so on.

The Head of the Department of Aquaculture who is also the Head of the S1 Aquaculture Study Program (Prodi) FPIK UNDIP, Dr. Ir Sarjito MAppSc, said that although it is part of fisheries, aquaculture is a fishery of the future. “Currently, the aquaculture world is experiencing a very significant development, including the industry,” said Sarjito, Tuesday (9/3/2021).

He admitted that there is still a perception that aquaculture is the cultivation of shrimp, grouper, milkfish, seaweed and others. Even though what is learned is more than that. Starting from seed production, feed, consumption size, as well as facilities and infrastructure.

To differentiate aquaculture and fisheries, one indication is their emphasis on producing products. Fisheries tend to use the wild, while aquaculture emphasizes cultivation. “The end result can be the same, but the process is different,” added Sarjito.

The UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program was born based on the Decree of the Director General of DIKTI No. 473 / DIKTI / Kep / 1995 under the name Aquaculture Study Program. Ir Endang Arini M.Si. became the head of the first study program for a study program which was originally part of the Fisheries Department. To face global challenges and existing developments, the nomenclature of Aquaculture Study Program was changed to Aquaculture Study Program.

Only three years after its arrival, the academic quality of the 1998 UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program received recognition from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN PT) with B Accreditation. Then it rose to A in 2004 according to the BAN PT Decree No. 06753 / Ak-VII-S1-032 / UDEBYP / VIII / 2004. The achievement of the best academic quality will continue to be maintained in the next accreditation period so that Accreditation A is still attached to this day.

Besides being careful in maintaining quality, the Aquaculture Study Program also equips its students with knowledge that is relevant to the demands of the times. The students are equipped with entrepreneurial knowledge, especially those related to the potential of aquatic culture. Graduates of the Aquaculture Study Program are also recognized as equality in KKNI (Equivalent Level to Indonesian National Qualification Framework) with Level 6 KKNI. “Our priority curriculum is to prepare aquaculture entrepreneurs and developers, apart from of course careers as researchers and consultants, managers, educators and aquaculture instructors,” said Sarjito.

It should be noted, KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework) is a qualification ranking of Indonesian human resources that juxtaposes, equals, and integrates the education sector with the training and work experience sectors in a work ability recognition scheme that is tailored to the structure in various work sectors. There are 9 qualification levels, starting with Qualification Level 1 as the lowest qualification and qualification level 9 as the highest qualification.

The determination of the gap 1 to 9 is carried out through a comprehensive mapping of labor conditions in Indonesia in terms of the labor producer (supply push) and user (demand pull). The descriptor for each qualification level is also adjusted to take into account the overall conditions of the country. UNDIP’s Aquaculture graduates are immediately included in level 6 of the KKNI, meaning that it is only three steps away from entering the highest level.

All that can be achieved because of the quality that is maintained. Qualifications of the FPIK UNDIP Aquaculture Study Program can be seen from the composition of the teaching staff. There are currently three professors and fourteen doctors in the ranks of its teaching staff. Indeed, there are still those who qualify for master’s degrees, but some are currently attending doctoral education programs. (Source: UNDIP).
