Krida Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya (FTUB) academic year 2019/2020 which began last September ended on 30 November 2019. Quite different, the last Krida was attended by only about half of the total new engineering students. “Today only divided into two clusters, because almost half of our students qualify for PKM so they must participate in PKM UB consignment,” said the Head of Student Affairs Section of FTUB, Desi Kurniasari. This year, FTUB proudly sent 404 PKM proposal and 181 of them passes. And half of them are new students of 2019/2020. Overall FTUB implemented Krida nine times. Four times Faculty’s on September 14 & 28, October 26, and November 30, 2019. While n the department level were held on September 21, October 5, and November 2, 16, 23. During those nine days new students received provisions to face the lecture at the Faculty of Engineering. The committee is also trying to instill responsibility to freshmen in implementing the Higher Education Tri Dharma and its application. As in previous years, Krida FTUB will be officially closed with Student Work Camps (KKM) which will later be conditioned together with the Vice Dean for Student Affairs after the implementation of Krida. KKM itself is one of the excellent activities of FTUB that invites new FTUB students to get to know the community service early on. The committee hopes that the new FTUB 2018 students become strong and resilient students in all conditions. “Because college life will be very much different from when they were in high school, we hope that the FTUB 2019 freshmen become tough and resilient in all situations and conditions,” Desi hoped.
