Industrial Engineering UII Students Win 3 Achievements at Once

Alan Bayu Kusuma, a student of Industrial Engineering UII managed to win 3 achievements at once in a short time. The 2023 student won the Grand Finalist / Best Category Award ADHI ICon 2024 with the organizer PT ADHI KARYA (Persero) Tbk. In the competition to create innovations in the construction sector, he along with Ahmad Arro’uf Sulfuadi and Muhamad Salimudin Paripurna focused on the Social Engagement & Safety Environment area with the title of the idea in the form of “Vision-Pro: Smart Glass with Pulse Detector for Better Occupation”.

His second achievement was Bronze Medal (III) in Youthpreneur International Competition 2024 with INVENTIFY Center as the organizer. In the competition that hones entrepreneurial skills, Alan again collaborated with Ahmad Arro’uf Sulfuadi. Furthermore, Alan also made achievements on campus by being awarded the 4th winner of PKM-GFT Idea Challenges Universitas Islam Indonesia 2024. He, Ahmad Arro’uf Sulfuadi as team leader, and colleagues from other study programs produced a creative and innovative idea with the title “SEANERGY: Utilization of Wave and Thermal Seawater as a Renewable Electrical Energy Procurement Strategy Integrated with Internet of Things and Wireless”.

Inevitably, various challenges came in the process of achieving all the awards. “I faced many challenges, especially since this competition is related to product design. So, my colleagues and I also had to make renewable innovations with existing tools. In my opinion, it was tiring because every day I had to research journals to find out about existing developments,” he said. Nevertheless, the student was grateful for working in a compact team. “Alhamdulillah, with a compact team, I was able to get through it all smoothly even though I didn’t get perfect results, but I think every process is worth appreciating,” he added.

Finally, he also gave advice so that other students could win awards in the competition. “Advice from me, do a lot of research and be sensitive to your surroundings because I think if you are sensitive to your surroundings, especially the world of technology, you will definitely be able to create fantastic ideas.” he concluded.
