Producing Young Leaders, HMJ Mechanical Engineering Polman Negeri Babel Holds 2025 Machine Bore Up
First year students from the Polman Babel Mechanical Engineering Department actively participated in the 2025 Machine Bore Up (BUM) activity.
The Polman Babel Mechanical Engineering Student Association (HMJ) has once again shown its breakthrough. Through the 2025 Bore Up Mesin (BUM) activity, HMJ is trying to produce organizational cadres who are ready to actively contribute to the campus environment.
This activity was held on Friday (04/26/2025) at the Joint Lecture Building. A number of students from the first year of various study programs in the Mechanical Engineering Department enthusiastically participated in the entire series of events.
BUM not only introduces new students to the world of organizations, but also becomes a place to hone important soft skills such as leadership, teamwork, and communication. Participants are invited to understand the ins and outs of managing an organization through various materials and direct simulations.
When met on Monday (28/04/2025), the Advisor of the Mechanical Engineering HMJ, Dr. Ilham Ary Wahyudie, M.T., emphasized the importance of this activity. According to him, being in an organization is an important provision to shape the character and readiness of students to face the professional world.
"Organizations train mental toughness, strategic thinking skills, and sensitivity to the surrounding environment. This is the main capital for students," said Dr. Ilham.
Dr. Ilham also added that activities such as BUM must continue to be held sustainably, so that leadership regeneration on campus can run smoothly and with quality," he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the Mechanical Engineering HMJ, Intani Adinata, said that the main objective of BUM 2025 is to improve student performance in managing organizations based on the principles of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and the Identity Charter.
"We want our friends to not only be active, but also able to carry out work programs with full commitment and creativity," said Intani.
Furthermore, Intani hopes that the participants can be the vanguard in building departments and campuses in a better direction. "Hopefully, they dare to speak up, dare to move, and continue to bring positive change," she concluded.
