UNS — Students from the Faculty of Cultural Studies (FIB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta won another national-level achievement. The Historical Science Program student Tegar Ramadhani won 1st place in the Critical Writing Competition (LMK) 2021 with his friend M. Fadillah Rizky Utomo.
LMK 2021 was held by the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Faculty of Engineering Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang. Various universities send their students to participate in the competition, such as Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas Sriwijaya, and Universitas Diponegoro, with a total of 50 teams.
To uns.ac.id team, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky stated that they participated in LKM 2021 because they were interested in the theme, renewable energy. “I like the theme, renewable energy. Therefore, I discuss renewable energy topic as an increasingly developed national issue,” Tegar stated.
By participating in the competition, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky also wanted to enrich their experience in the scientific writing field. Their work discussed the installation of a biogas reactor from fish wastes in the coastal area. In their work, Tegar and Fadillah conducted a deep analysis of the economic condition of the coastal community that could be improved with the installation of a biogas reactor.
“Thus, indirectly, the partners in marines and fisheries business that apply this biogas reactor will benefit from (the system),” Tegar explained.
In preparing the essay, Tegar was inspired by his tutor in High School. Tegar and Fadillah Rizky also admitted that they did not expect that they would win 1st place because both of them are students of Historical Science Program FIB UNS and participated for the first time.
“I was surprised because, for the essay, we were in 10th place according to the score. And after the presentation, we won 1st place. Very surprised because we did not have an experience in scientific writing, especially essay,” Tegar stated.
In the future, Tegar and Fadillah Rizky want to explore their potential in writing, especially in renewable energy topics. Tegar also admitted that he wants to collaborate with students from other programs to conduct research that will bring a proud name for UNS at the national and international levels. Humas UNS
