The Laboratory of Innovation and Organizational Development (IPO) under the Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia (FTI UII), has once again held the Expo Big Project DOI 2024. This annual event is part of the practical course series for Industrial Organization Design (DOI), participated by 93 teams of Industrial Engineering students from FTI UII. Through this activity, students are encouraged to collaborate directly with Small, and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the community. They are challenged to identify the problems faced by SMEs and formulate innovative solutions using the design thinking approach as a tangible application of the knowledge they have learned.

The series of activities kicked off with the expo on Friday (03/01). The event was held at the Hall of K.H. Mas Mansyur Building, starting at 8:00 AM WIB and was open to the general public. During the expo, each team showcased their solution designs using media that attracted visitors’ attention. Visitors not only observed innovative projects but also interacted directly with the students to understand the processes behind each solution.
One of the participants, Reza Ibrahim, shared his experience during the Expo Big Project DOI 2024.
“Alhamdulillah, I have participated in the expo several times, and each time I feel excited because we get to showcase the results of what we have worked on throughout the semester. Additionally, we also get to see other incredible projects from our peers,” he said enthusiastically.
On this occasion, Reza and his team collaborated with a garment SME to offer a solution in the form of a real-time recording system through an application they developed. He hopes that events like this will continue to be held in the coming years as a platform to enhance the creativity of Industrial Engineering students at FTI UII.
