sipilsandbox.undip.ac.id – The Civil Engineering Department of Diponegoro University has carried out Campus Life Introduction for New Students (PKKMB) activities on August 15, 2023. A total of 252 new Undip Civil Engineering undergraduate students in 2023 attended a series of PKKMB Civil Engineering activities which took place at Building A101 Undip Civil Engineering Campus. The implementation of this PKKMB activity aims to introduce the campus environment to new students, as well as prepare new students to adapt to the world of lectures in Higher Education.

PKKMB Undip Civil Engineering activities began with an introduction to the profile of the Undip Civil Engineering Department, Academic Activists (Lecturers), and the Undip Civil Engineering Alumni Association (IKATEKSI) presented by Prof. Jati Utomo Dwi Hatmoko, S.T., M.M., M.Sc., Ph.D. as the Head of the Undip Civil Engineering Department. Amidst the excitement of the question and answer session with Prof. Jati, new students were surprised by the arrival of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Kaliske from TU Dresden Germany to greet the new students, as well as provide opportunities for new students to ask questions about Civil Engineering Education in Germany. Then there was also an introduction to the campus academic system, such as SIAP Undip, Library Access, Lecture Methods, and Academic Regulations presented by Prof. Bagus Hario Setiadji, S.T., M.T., Ph.D. as Head of Undip Civil Engineering S1 Study Program. Furthermore, a meeting of guardian lecturers with new students was held, as well as providing lecture support materials presented by Undip Civil Engineering Academic Activists.

The Undip Civil Engineering PKKMB provides an opportunity for new students to get to know the Undip Civil Engineering campus directly and more closely through Campus Tour activities. The enthusiasm and learning spirit of the new students were seen during the PKKMB Civil Engineering. By holding this PKKMB activity, it is hoped that new students will recognize and understand the Undip Civil Engineering campus environment as an academic environment and understand the mechanisms that apply in it, add insight into the use of available academic facilities, and prepare new students to be able to take education in higher education and comply with and implement the norms that apply at the Undip Civil Engineering Campus.
