Systems Modeling Class Project Presentation 2010

As we are at the end of term 1 of 2010/2011 academic year, the undergraduate class of systems modeling course is presenting their project as part of their evaluation. The project is to create the engineering campus model of students movement in order to evaluate the class capacities and utilization. They divide the area of campus into 20 sections for each students groups to develop the discrete event sub-models and then  merge them into one big complete models.

The model is awesome in terms of details and scope of works that these undergraduate students must conducted. Using ProModel Software, owned by the SEMS lab, and under supervision of Pak Hariyanto Salim, they have done a very good job, following the footsteps of their seniors.

Systems modeling class project that has been conducted are the model of the Jakarta’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) busway system (3 lanes), in-city toll road and campus’ yellow-bus systems evaluation.

PDCA Card Game

As part of our research on the used of simulation games to enhance learning experience, we are also introducing small games in other class, such as the PDCA Card Game. The PDCA Card Game was first introduce in the 2005, the pictures below are from the Quality Systems Class in 2007

Movie Gathering Event

As part of introduction on the scope and area for the New Industrial Engineering Students, SEMS Lab assistant coordinates a movie gathering event (Nonton Bareng – NoBar) in the Undergraduate Student Center  of our laboratory building. The event will play DVDs of a television series “Ultimate Factories” from the National Geographic Channel, which started with the state of the art Ferrari Factory.

The event was opened by Bu Anna, Vice Head of Department and Introduced by Pak Akhmad, Head of SEMS Lab. Bu Anna reminds the students that they need to be able to explain the role of Industrial Engineers to other engineering students in particular, and all students in general. She hoped that by watching this series together, they can catch a glimpse on the complexity of their roles as industrial engineers in the future.

Pak Akhmad also introduce the events by asking the audience to ask themselves “how can I design and built a factory like that”. This question is important to generate curiosity and understanding of how subjects in their curriculum are related. He also reminds the students that even though manufacturing is a key aspect that they must master as Industrial Engineers, they must also master another key aspect as “UI” Industrial Engineers which is the service operations.

Gadjah Mada University Visit

The curriculum team from Industrial Engineering Program of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) has visit Industrial Engineering to have brainstorming on the curriculum of IE. The visits includes lab visits of Human Factors Laboratory’s: Ergonomic Center and SEMS Lab. The discussion was very alive, due to the facts that IE at UGM was officially established at the same time with IE at UI. We are talking about IE as department, not as a program, since in UI as a study program IE  already exist since 1978. We also expressed our deepest sympathy to the Mount Merapi Eruption victims
