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.

Student ID: 40040620650039
Thesis Title: Simulation of Recloser Using Arduino Uno Microcontroller Based on Keypad as a Control Interface
Date: July 9, 2024
In the defense held in the Faculty of Engineering’s meeting room, Diva presented the results of her research, which aimed to develop a recloser system based on the Arduino Uno microcontroller. This system uses a keypad as an interface to optimize the function of the recloser in electrical distribution networks. A recloser is used to detect faults and disconnect the power supply with the goal of automatically restoring the system after minor faults.
During the presentation, Diva explained in detail the working principle of the system, from the main components used to the simulation process that had been conducted. The use of the Arduino Uno microcontroller as the core of the system allows for more flexible control and settings, while the keypad serves as an interface for user configuration.
The defense proceeded smoothly, with the examining professors providing various insightful questions and feedback to further develop the thesis. Diva is expected to continue refining her work to improve the quality of protection systems in electrical distribution networks.
Congratulations to Diva Amartya Prameswari for the successful defense of her thesis, and we hope her research can contribute to the advancement of technology in the field of electrical engineering.
