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

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.

The Study Program of Fisheries Product Technology UNDIP Produces Quality Graduates

The Study Program of Fisheries Product Technology UNDIP Produces Quality Graduates

FPIK, SEMARANG – The Fisheries Product Technology (THP) Study Program of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Diponegoro University (UNDIP) is committed to producing a profile of COMPLETE qualified graduates with Level 6 KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework) and SKPI (Certificate of Companion Certificate) that are trusted.

As a university with a legal entity, UNDIP does not only try to produce students who are independent, capable and strong in science; UNDIP’s identity is also embodied in the COMPLETE graduate profile.

The conception of the COMPLETE profile is the target that Diponegoro Campus wants to achieve to produce graduates who are able to communicate well orally and in writing (Communicator), Professional (work according to principles, development based on achievement and uphold the code of ethics), have a leadership spirit, are proactive and can motivating and collaborating (Leader), possessing entrepreneurial skills, being innovative, independent (Entrepreneur), as well as being a thinker who always thinks critically, continues to learn and research; and able to act as an agent of change (Educator).

Head of the THP FPIK UNDIP Study Program, Prof. Dr. Ir. Eko Nurcahya Dewi, M.Sc, stated that the commitment to produce graduates with a COMPLETE profile applies to all study programs at the Diponegoro Campus. For the THP Study Program, in addition to being recognized as Level 6 KKNI, SKPI is also given to graduates. “SKPI or Diploma Supplement is an official statement letter containing information about the academic achievements or qualifications of a graduate higher education degree issued by the tertiary institution. SKPI is not a certificate, but it can help the holder to get recognition or recognition, “said Eko Nurcahya Dewi, Thursday (6/5/2021).

She emphasized that the SKPI is an additional document, not a substitute for a diploma. As for the information contained in it, in addition to academic achievements, there is also a description of the learning outcomes of graduates at the KKNI level that are relevant and in a standard format that is easily understood by the general public. “Indeed, SKPI is not a document that automatically holds the holder of recognition, but it will help identify the profile of graduates and their qualifications,” She added.

THP FPIK UNDIP Study Program, which was established in 2002, since 2012 has received an A accreditation from BAN PT (National Accreditation Board for Higher Education). Determination of the latest accreditation status based on Decree No. 5053/SK/BAN-PT/Akred/S/XII/2017 which is valid until 27 December 2022.

Seeing the abundance of Indonesia’s marine resources, both animals and plants that come from catches and cultivation, the THP UNDIP Study Program intensively conducts research on fish, shrimp, seaweed, mangroves and other organisms so that they can be used as raw materials for high-value products. able to compete in the global market. “Our research covers fishery products, both food and non-food products. The scope of fishery products is very broad, not only for food products, there are pharmaceutical products, handicrafts and the use of their waste,” She said.

The implementation of teaching and research in the THP Study Program is supported by lecturers consisting of 3 professors, 3 doctors, 3 doctoral candidates and 7 masters. The teaching and learning process is also supported by the availability of a complete laboratory, namely a processing laboratory, a production and packaging laboratory, a quality analysis laboratory and a microbiology laboratory. There is also an integrated UNDIP laboratory in Semarang, and a fishing industry mini plant at the Marine Science Technopark UNDIP Teluk Awur, Jepara.

Currently, the THP FPIK UNDIP Study Program is implementing the Free Merdeka Learning Curriculum Program, such as a Teaching Campus. In this context, every student’s off-campus activity will be converted to courses in the study program. The latest curriculum in use today is the result of an evaluation of the previous curriculum based on input from existing stakeholders. “The curriculum is always updated every 5 years to suit the demands of users or stakeholders,” She said.

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.
