Students from the Industrial Electrical Engineering program at the School of Vocational Studies, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), as part of their TIM II Community Service (KKN), successfully installed solar-powered lighting at the Farmers’ Hall in Pakumbulan Village, Buaran Sub-district, Pekalongan Regency. This initiative was aimed at addressing the lack of adequate lighting in the village’s rice fields, a result of suboptimal public street lighting distribution.
The installation took place at strategically chosen locations, determined through prior site surveys. This program involved not only the KKN students but also the Gotong Royong II Farmers’ Group and the local community in both the installation process and a subsequent information session. The students provided education on the installation and maintenance of solar panel lights, with the hope that the community will be able to independently utilize and care for this technology.
Mr. Sulaiman, the head of the Gotong Royong II Farmers’ Group, expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the initiative. “We hope the villagers will understand the benefits of using these solar panels,” he said.
The positive response from the Pakumbulan Village community highlights the program’s significance and necessity. It is expected to improve the community’s well-being while promoting the use of environmentally friendly renewable energy. UNDIP KKN students hope that with the implementation of this solar-powered lighting, Pakumbulan Village can serve as a model for other villages in adopting renewable energy technologies.

On Thursday, August 1, 2024, students from Team II of the Community Service Program (KKN) of Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Vocational School, Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, conducted a safety education session on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) focusing on electrical hazards for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students at Pakumbulan Elementary School, Buaran District, Pekalongan Regency. The program aimed to raise children’s awareness of the risks associated with electricity in their environment, especially in play areas near electrical installations in Pakumbulan Village.
The session included presentations, educational videos, and the distribution of OHS posters on electrical hazards. Additionally, the students held practical demonstrations of series and parallel electrical circuits, giving the elementary students hands-on experience with basic electrical concepts. The program was well-received, with students actively participating in the activities and enthusiastically engaging in the simulations.
Mr. Yudha Nugroho, a teacher at Pakumbulan Elementary School, expressed his appreciation for the initiative. “The KKN program at SDN Pakumbulan has provided valuable knowledge to the students,” he said.
The positive responses from both students and teachers highlight the importance of such initiatives in reducing the risk of electrical accidents. The UNDIP Community Service students hope that through this program, the elementary students of Pakumbulan will have a better understanding of workplace safety and become more conscious of their surroundings, especially regarding electrical hazards.

Thesis Title: Design and Development of Early Drowsiness Detection Using MAX30102 Sensor in Electric Vehicles
Defense Date: July 24, 2024
On July 24, 2024, Muhammad Naufal Aryaguna, a student of the Industrial Electrical Engineering program, successfully conducted his thesis defense as part of the requirements to complete his studies. In his presentation, Naufal shared the results of his research, titled “Design and Development of Early Drowsiness Detection Using MAX30102 Sensor in Electric Vehicles.”
The aim of this research is to develop an early detection system for drowsiness specifically for use in electric vehicles, using the MAX30102 sensor. The device is designed to monitor the driver’s physical condition, particularly drowsiness levels, by measuring heart rate and oxygen saturation. This detection system is expected to help prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue while driving.
The thesis defense was attended by examiners and advisors who provided various feedback and constructive criticism on Naufal’s work. Through this defense, it is hoped that Naufal’s research findings can make a meaningful contribution to road safety, particularly for electric vehicles, and inspire further technological advancements in sensor-based innovations.
