Representatives of Basic Survey and Mapping Technology students, along with the Indonesian Geodesy Student Association (IMGI), conducted a visit to the BMKG in Nganjuk Regency, East Java, as part of the IMGI 2024 Company Visit event on March 28, 2024.
This Company Visit event was organized by the Geomatics Student Association of Institut Teknologi Surabaya (HIMAGE ITS) and was attended by several delegations, including students from Basic Survey and Mapping Technology and Geodesy Engineering at UGM.
The event involved a direct visit to the BMKG Geophysics Station in Sawahan, Nganjuk, and an interactive seminar featuring a study case (related to the geodesy profession) presented by a speaker from the BMKG Geophysics Station in Sawahan, Nganjuk.
Rasyid Widayanta, a participant from the KMTSP delegation, expressed that the event was very engaging because it was held at BMKG Nganjuk and organized by friends from HIMAGE ITS. Students had the opportunity to learn and understand various earth sciences at BMKG, such as the weather monitoring instruments and earthquake detection sensors. The BMKG team provided excellent guidance, helping students to become familiar with the equipment at the BMKG.
This event was highly beneficial as it not only allowed students to build connections with other delegations participating in the Company Visit, but also provided valuable knowledge about earth sciences directly from BMKG Nganjuk, East Java.
