Applied Bachelor’s Students in Electronics Engineering at Polman Negeri Babel Showcase Various Technological Innovations at Final Project Presentations
A student from the Applied Bachelor's Program in Electronics Engineering at the Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic presented the results of their final project before a panel of examiners.
Students from the Applied Bachelor’s Program in Electronics Engineering at the Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic underwent an assessment of their capabilities during the Final Project Defense—held over three days, from July 13 to 15, 2026. This event served not only to determine their eligibility for graduation but also as a platform to demonstrate the competencies they had honed throughout their studies.
Twenty-five students participated in the defense, presenting various innovations and applied projects aligned with their respective areas of expertise. Before a panel of examiners, each participant presented their project results and outlined the processes of design and implementation, while also answering questions designed to evaluate their mastery of the subject matter and analytical skills.
When asked for comment on Monday (July 13, 2026), Aan Febriansyah, M.T., Head of the Applied Bachelor’s Program in Electronics Engineering, explained that the Final Project is an academic activity integrating the knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes acquired by students during their studies. He noted that the project enables students to develop creative and constructive ideas—spanning the stages of planning, design, and testing—to produce applied works or products relevant to the program's competencies.
Aan noted that the Final Project course represents the culmination of the entire vocational education learning process, serving as a means to assess technical standards and analytical capabilities while accounting for realistic constraints based on the knowledge and skills acquired during their studies.
"This year's Final Project themes are highly diverse, ranging from the development of Appropriate Technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial control systems, and automation, to the development of technologies supporting strategic national issues—such as the management of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program," he added.
"Furthermore, Polman Babel students are capable of keeping pace with technological advancements while delivering innovative, applicable solutions that meet the needs of both the industrial sector and the community; this ensures that vocational graduates not only possess technical competence but are also able to create innovations that adapt to the changing times," he explained.
"Aan hopes that all students will navigate the defense successfully, achieve optimal results, and uphold academic ethics and professionalism throughout the Final Project process," he stated.
"Therefore, students who still need to make revisions should not give up; instead, they should use the feedback from the examiners as a basis for refining their Final Projects so that the targets set during the proposal defense can be successfully met. We are optimistic that all students are capable of completing this process with results they can be proud of," Aan expressed.
