On September 18^th, 2024, the Natural Resource Management Master’s Program at the University of Trunojoyo Madura hosted an event in collaboration with 10 students from Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic. This activity, held at the Learning Business Center, focused on a taste-testing session aimed at introducing various flavors while emphasizing the significance of sustainable food security through tuber-based snacks. With growing concerns over climate change and food shortages, tubers such as potatoes, cassava, and sweet potatoes offer a nutritious and resilient food source. Attending the meeting were the Head of the Study Program, Dr. Apri Arisandi, along with faculty members from the Master’s Program in Natural Resource Management, including Dr. Farid, Dr. Teti Sugiarti, and Dr. Agr. Eko Setiawan. The keynote address on the topic of food security was delivered by Setiani, PhD., from the Agribusiness Study Program.

Eleven tuber-based products were presented, with students challenged to match each product to its primary ingredient. The tasting table featured a variety of snacks, including golden potato chips, crispy cassava chips, and crunchy sweet potato chips. Reactions to the snacks varied among the students. Zuzana, intrigued but hesitant, commented, “I’m not a big fan of getuk, an Indonesian cassava-based snack, but I’ll try the cassava chips.” After taking a tentative bite, she smiled slightly but didn’t take more. In contrast, the sweet potato chips were a clear favorite. Ondrej remarked, “I like yam bean because it’s fresh, and we don’t have this in our country.” Nicky, happily munching on the chips, added, “They’re sweet! I like them!” The majority of the group, around 60%, expressed a strong preference for the sweet potato chips, praising their natural sweetness and light texture.

According to Dr. Eko Setiawan, a lecturer in the Natural Resource Management Master’s Program, the event was not merely a taste test but also an educational experience on sustainability. He highlighted that “Madura has a wide variety of tubers and significant potential in terms of natural resources.” Dr. Setiani further elaborated, noting that “due to their ability to thrive in poor soil conditions and withstand drought, tuber crops have the potential to play a crucial role in ensuring food security for future generations.”

Through this tasting session, students not only experienced new flavors but also gained insight into how everyday foods can contribute to a sustainable future.

The socialization activity for the ASME International Journal, in collaboration with the Integrated Service Unit (UPT) Library of UTM, was specifically intended for students and faculty members.

Please note that ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is one of the largest publishers in the world.

According to several sources, since 1880, the ASME Journal Program has employed rigorous examination and a peer-review process to publish research of the highest quality, making it available to engineering professionals who seek to make a transformative impact on the world.

Thus, the presence of this application enables the academic community to submit their research journals, which are subsequently reviewed by a team from the publisher.

Because of the scholarly work of researchers and lecturers that is published in international journals.

This can potentially add value to the academic achievements of the researcher and the associated lecturer, as well as enhance the academic quality of the institution.

Bangkalan, August 15, 2024. The PKKMB (Introduction to Campus Life for New Students) has become an annual event at the university, faculty, and program study levels. The event aims to prepare new students for the transition to campus life through various activities focusing on national insight, patriotism, national defense, and familiarization with academic, student activities, and campus policies. This year, one of the main agendas of the PKKMB for the Faculty of Agriculture at UTM is to provide motivation for achieving academic success in higher education. This theme was chosen due to the frequent occurrence of students lacking enthusiasm for academic activities and showing little interest in the various opportunities provided by the campus. The event is a collaboration between the Faculty of Agriculture and lecturers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UITM), Malaysia, namely Ts Dr. Juliana Brahim, Assoc Prof Ir Ts Dr. Rumaizah Mohd Nordin, Assoc Prof Ts Dr. Norfashiha Hashim, and Assoc Prof Sr Dr. Norazian Mohamad Yusuwan. Each speaker presented their material to new students across five programs within the Faculty of Agriculture. The event proceeded smoothly and enjoyably with the guidance of the program study chair as the moderator.

The speakers provided valuable insights into motivation, which can be categorized into two main types: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation, originating from within the individual, includes enjoyment, purpose, growth, curiosity, passion, self-expression, and fun. Conversely, extrinsic motivation, which arises from external factors, encompasses promotions, financial gains, bonuses, and others. Additionally, the speakers emphasized that strong motivation is crucial for achieving academic goals, especially when confronted with obstacles and challenges. They highlighted the importance of resilience, the ability to recover, and maintaining an attitude of perseverance, adaptability, flexibility, and continuous learning as key components of success.

The Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture stated, “The PKKMB is a crucial moment for new students to begin their academic journey with enthusiasm and strong knowledge. We hope that with this motivational preparation, new students will be able to face academic challenges with confidence and achieve success throughout their studies.”

The PKKMB 2024 event is expected to provide significant preparation for new students to begin their academic journey with readiness and high motivation. New students should also be able to enjoy their learning experience on campus through various means, including participating in campus activities, utilizing university resources, building networks with faculty and fellow students, and balancing academic pursuits with extracurricular activities.
