UNS — Students of the Faculty of Engineering (FT), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) participated in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Medeka (MBKM) Project in Joho Village, Pracimantoro District, Wonogiri Regency. The team consisted of students from the Architectural Engineering and Civil Engineering Study Program (Prodi). In this activity, they worked on the creation of a master plan for the village area. Reporting from the ft.uns.ac.id webpage, this project began in September 2021. The site survey was the initial activity undertaken. While in December 2021, the team will start the design phase. The first master plan design was completed and has been presented to the Joho Village resident. This design stage is mainly handled by the students from the Architectural Engineering Study Program. “Our project in the village is started with the village residents’ request for an establishment plan to transform the field into a stadium, which also includes a reservoir. Around this reservoir, there is empty land, and we were requested to plan a multi-purpose building and transform the garden landscape,” said Adam Maulana, one of the Architecture students.
Yuan Efano Sofyan, Adam’s colleague, also pointed out that the outcome of this project will be the village masterplan design. The design provides the public facilities needed by the village residents.
After the presentation held in February 2022, the project was continued by the students of the Civil Engineering Study Program. Their role involves the calculation of the building structures. This student collaboration, according to Yuan, is very helpful in calculating the stadium structure and the multi-purpose buildings that were previously designed by the Architectural students. “Previously, there was an idea to collaborate the Architectural with Civil Engineering students. That is to measure the stadium structure and the multi-purpose buildings we designed. Hence, we can know whether the design can be implemented or not. That’s how it goes,” Yuan explained.
There are numerous expectations for this MBKM project. The design that has been made is expected to be useful for many parties. UNS students can also gain hands-on experience to apply their knowledge. The students reveal that they are happy if the designs that have been made can be realized in the future.
In addition, according to Adam, scientific collaborations can also be applied to other projects. Indeed, it must be applied in an effective and efficient way in order to get quality results.
“This MBKM program is highly helpful. The problem is that Architectural engineering needs more experience, such as a presentation in front of lecturers is different from a presentation made in front of public agencies. It feels very different. So there is the experience (through this project),” Yuan said. Humas UNS
