The Mechanical Engineering Student Association (HMJTM) of the Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic which is part of the IIA Regional Forum (Forwil) held the 4th Mechanical Engineering Student Meeting and Regional Conference (Muswil) at the Grha Maras Meeting Building, Bangka Regent's Office, Thursday (21/11 /2024).
This event brought together 50 mechanical engineering students from West Sumatra, Riau Islands, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra and Bangka Belitung.
According to Amru Yahya Ayyas, Deputy Chief Executive who is also a student at Polman Babel, the activity will last for six days, from 18 to 23 November 2024. "Bangka Belitung is the host this time, represented by engineering students from Bangka Belitung University and Polman Babel," he said .
The series of activities held included industrial visits, community service, and regional coordination meetings. "We discussed strategic programs to support the future development of mechanical engineering," added Amru, a 3rd semester student at Polman Babel.
Amru added that this Muswil is also a platform to encourage mechanical engineering students to be more active in innovating. "We want students to be more creative and ready to face the challenges of the industrial world," he said.
With the end of the 4th Muswil, mechanical engineering students in the IIA region are ready to carry out joint work programs that have been designed to support technological and societal progress.
"We are optimistic that this activity will strengthen synergy between regions and bring great benefits, both in the academic, technological and social fields," said Amru.
Apart from that, this event is a place to exchange ideas and coordinate between regions. The student representative from Jambi, M. Tesar Hadiansyah, explained that several superior programs had been agreed upon, including scientific writing competitions, technology exhibitions and seminars.
"We also hold evenings of familiarity and community service in each region to strengthen relationships and introduce students' work to the community," said Tesar.
One of the innovations resulting from this activity was a chopping and melting machine, which was designed together in a technology practice session. "We want to create concrete solutions that can be utilized by the community," he explained.
According to Tesar, this six-day activity provided many benefits, not only for students, but also for the community involved in the service. "We hope that this program can have a real impact in every region," he said.
