Singaraja- Ganesha University of Education students have made international achievements one after another. This time it came from the Expo CU-OCIIP Creativity & Innovation The Pathway To Sustainable Development 2021 which took place in Nigeria. At the event, the Undiksha team consisted of Gede Sandita Widiada from the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program, Kadek Reda Setiawan Suda who was an alumnus of Electrical Engineering Education, Ni Putu Ayu Yuli Sumadianti from the Accounting Study Program, Andi Prasetya from the Japanese Language Education Study Program, and Luh Putu Restu Adi Utami from the Master’s Program in English Education.
Gede Sandita Widiada as the team representative explained that at the event they presented a work entitled “TESISS: Electrical Installation Trainer Inbow Portable” which is a learning medium for the electricity sector. The form is portable or small in size without reducing basic learning for students so that it is easy to carry everywhere. In addition, the electrical scheme is also clearly depicted on the acrylic board. “We also provide a manual for the use of this learning media,” he said on Sunday, (3/10/2021).
The student who was born in Banyuning, Buleleng added that the making of this work was based on the obstacles in the student practicum, one of which was due to damage to electrical components or missing. In addition, the electrical components so far are modular, so they require integrated learning media that are reused. Another thing, there is a decrease in student interest in learning because learning focuses more on theory. “Because of these problems, an innovation in learning media is needed that can inspire students’ learning enthusiasm,” he added.
From their work and effort, the Undiksha team won the Gold Medal in the event after competing with participants from 28 countries, from Asia, Europe, and even the Americas. The student who was born in 1999 admits that his success in achieving achievements cannot be separated from the preparations made for a month and also the support from all leaders of the Ganesha Education University and also the guidance of Dr. Nyoman Santiyadnya, S.Si., M.T. Through the achievements that have been obtained at the event which takes place from August 25 to September 30, 2021, of course, there is a pride for the team because they have been able to make Undiksha proud at the international level. “We don’t forget to thank God because of His blessings and grace we were able to get here, the spirit of the team, and the attitude of mutual trust in the team,” he explained.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Alumni, and Public Relations Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Wayan Suastra, M.Pd., expressed his appreciation for this achievement. Likewise for the enthusiasm of students and lecturers. “This is very proud. We really appreciate it. Hopefully in the future there will be more students who succeed in achieving more achievements,” he said. He further stated, achievements are very important to support university rankings and in order to accelerate the realization of Undiksha’s vision of “Being a Superior University Based on the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy in Asia in 2045” as well as to increase student competitiveness.
