SMA Labschool Kebayoran visited FMIPA UGM: Introducing Students to Opportunities in Science Bachelor’s Degree

SMA Labschool Kebayoran visited FMIPA UGM on Jan, 29th 2024. They were warmly received by Prof. Dr. Eng. Kuwat Triyana, M.Sc., the Dean of FMIPA UGM, and Dr. Juliasih Partini, S.Si., M.Sc., a lecturer in the Physics study program, in the FMIPA UGM Auditorium. Students and teachers received information regarding the list of study programs, alumni networks, university registration procedures, faculty facilities, student career support programs, and more. Additionally, a question-and-answer session provided insights and new perspectives for both FMIPA and the students and teachers. The activity then continued with a Material Physics and Instrumentation Laboratory tour.

“FMIPA graduates not only become employees but also create job opportunities such as start-ups,” said Prof. Kuwat during the opening presentation session. Various research and innovations were presented, such as the halal food detection device innovation (Elto) and the Covid-19 virus detection device (Genose). This presentation sparked various questions from students about the opportunities as science graduates. “What are the job fields after graduating as a science bachelor?” This question reflected students’ concerns about the future of science graduates. Prof. Kuwat then presented various FMIPA UGM alumni with outstanding careers such as graduates in Geophysics working in the field of oil exploration, Mathematics graduates working in cryptography, and Computer Science graduates involved in marketplace development.

After the presentation and discussion session, the event continued with a visit to the Material Physics and Instrumentation Laboratory. Students and teachers were able to observe and directly participate in laboratory practices guided by laboratory assistants and physics lecturers. “In school, children learn mathematics, chemistry, and physics, which are fundamental sciences. The hope is that from this visit, students can learn more about these sciences in university life,” said Taufik, a teacher at SMA Labschool Kebayoran. “It turns out that the technology we use daily results from FMIPA research. This will be our preparation for the next year to determine the university and major to take. If permitted, we will come again in the future, but not as visitors but as FMIPA students,” said Pasya, an 11th-grade student. “I am very interested in the innovations at FMIPA and the existing partnerships such as with BRIN. Hopefully, we will gain more insights from this visit to FMIPA UGM,” said Qotryn, an 11th-grade student.

Through the school visit, FMIPA UGM also supports SDG point 4 regarding quality education by increasing student motivation to pursue higher education and providing guidance according to their interests and talents. Furthermore, FMIPA UGM welcomes educational institutions in partnerships to achieve goals in the field of educational advancement in line with SDGs point 17.

SMAN 1 Jatiluhur Purwakarta’s Visit to FMIPA UGM: Boosting Student Motivation to Pursue Studies in the Field of Science

SMAN 1 Jatiluhur Purwakarta group visited FMIPA UGM on Thursday, January 11th 2023. In this regard, students and teachers were welcomed and guided by Sugeng Triono, S.Si., M.Si., a lecturer of the Department of Chemistry in the Auditorium of FMIPA UGM. During the opening ceremony, the Vice Principal expressed appreciation to FMIPA UGM for accepting the visit. The agenda continued with a presentation about the ins and outs of FMIPA UGM. Students and teachers received information about the list of study programs, alumni networks, university registration procedures, faculty facilities, and more.

The atmosphere of the visit was filled with laughter but they remained focused on the presentation material. In opening the presentation, Sugeng urged students through his humor that science is not difficult and offers excellent job opportunities. “Science is not difficult. I like mathematics. Mathematics is easy; it’s just numbers 0 to 9 lined up. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division also have clear results,” said Sugeng. He then explained important points of the material, such as research and innovation opportunities, career paths, scholarships, and various extraordinary networking opportunities among FMIPA UGM alumni.

“What motivated you to choose Chemistry at UGM?” asked one student. While reminiscing, Sugeng recounted the twists and turns of his life in deciding to pursue a Chemistry program degree. When Sugeng was in school, he found the way Chemistry was taught to be unpleasant. This served as a trigger and motivation for Sugeng to dive into the field of Chemistry and teach it enjoyably. Until now, Sugeng has dedicated himself to becoming a lecturer in the Chemistry study program at UGM. He also added that in pursuing dreams, there will always be challenges such as economic conditions, family situations, and more. However, Sugeng emphasized to the students that no matter how challenging it is, as humans, they must be resilient in striving to achieve their aspirations, including continuing their education.

Budi Mulia Tangerang High School Visit to FMIPA UGM: Addressing Students’ Career Concerns in the Field of Science

Budi Mulia Tangerang High School students seized a unique opportunity to gain firsthand insights into various study programs at FMIPA UGM on Tuesday, January 9th 2023. Dr. Dwi Ertiningsih, M.Si., a lecturer in the Mathematics program, and Dr. Sc. Robby Noor Cahyono, M.Sc., a lecturer in the Chemistry program, welcomed and guided the students and teachers in the FMIPA UGM Auditorium. The presentation covered essential information about FMIPA UGM, including the list of study programs, alumni networks, university admission procedures, faculty facilities, and more. Additionally, there was a Q&A session that provided mutual insights and new perspectives for both FMIPA and the students and teachers.

“Graduates of FMIPA go beyond being mere educators; they embark on diverse paths,” stated Ertin. This statement catalyzed students to ask various questions about their career prospects. One such concern was the waiting period between graduation and securing a job. “On average, the waiting period between graduation and getting a job is 1.5 months,” answered Ertin, addressing the students’ uncertainties. The students were then shown portraits of FMIPA UGM alumni who excelled in related fields and various career paths. Examples included a Physics graduate holding a position in energy management and a Mathematics graduate thriving as a banker.

One of the prominent new study programs at FMIPA is Actuarial Science, sparking curiosity among the students. Ertin elaborated on Actuarial Science, a combination of economics and statistics. “Indonesia currently needs 1 million actuaries, presenting an opportunity for students interested in pursuing studies in Actuarial Science,” explained Ertin. Dr. Sc. Robby Noor Cahyono, M.Sc., the speaker and lecturer in the Chemistry program, highlighted the advantages of Actuarial Science at FMIPA UGM, emphasizing the high demand for actuaries and the competencies gained through this program.

“At first, there was some hesitation about what FMIPA UGM is like. After the presentation, they started asking many questions and became interested in the available study programs,” said Ertin. Following the presentation, many students began exploring information independently about the study programs at FMIPA UGM. “I am very happy to come to UGM. I have gained a deeper understanding of the available study programs such as Actuarial Science, and I am interested in that field,” said Naura, a second-year student. “I have built motivation because the explained study program (Actuarial Science) is excellent. I am delighted to be here because the facilities are excellent, the buildings are impressive, and the graduates are also outstanding. Initially, I wanted to go into business, but after hearing about Actuarial Science, which also involves the business realm, I am now interested in that program,” she added. Welcoming visits from various schools is FMIPA UGM’s contribution to advancing SDGs in the realm of quality education for the future generation. It underscores the commitment to fostering excellence in the field of science through partnerships between higher education institutions and educational entities, preparing a distinguished generation for the challenges ahead.
