Postgraduate Students in the Professional Engineering Program at Udayana University Participate in a Field Study at the Turyapada Tower
Buleleng, April 25, 2026—Regular students in the Professional Engineering Program at the Graduate School of Udayana University conducted a Field Work Course at the Turyapada Tower (KBS 6.0 Kerthi Bali). This activity is part of the field-based learning designed to broaden students’ understanding of the application of engineering principles, project management, and occupational safety aspects in strategic infrastructure.
During the event, participants received a presentation on the Turyapada Tower, covering everything from the background of its construction and its primary functions to its role in supporting technological development, tourism, and communication services. This presentation provided students with a concrete understanding of how an infrastructure project is designed, managed, and utilized for the benefit of the community.
Dr. Ir. I Nyoman Aribudiman, S.T., M.T., IPM ASEAN Eng, Coordinator of the Professional Engineering Program, stated in his remarks that fieldwork is an important tool for engineering students to understand the connection between academic theory and practical application in the field. “Through this visit, students not only observe the physical form of infrastructure but also gain an understanding of technical processes, safety standards, and the professional responsibilities inherent in engineering work,” he said.
In addition to the general presentation, participants also received training on Occupational Safety, Health, and the Environment (OSH). This training emphasized the importance of fostering a safety culture in all construction and operational activities. The students were encouraged to understand that the success of a project is not only measured by technical and functional aspects, but also by compliance with occupational safety standards and environmental protection.
The event then continued with a site visit to the Turyapada Tower area. Through this on-site visit, the students were able to observe the conditions on the ground, the site management system, and various technical aspects that had previously been explained during the presentation session. This activity provided a contextual experience that reinforced the students’ understanding of the real-world engineering profession.
This fieldwork course is expected to serve as a practical learning environment for students in the Professional Engineering Program at Udayana University. By participating in a series of activities—ranging from presentations and K3L training to site visits—students are expected to become better prepared to develop their professional competencies, work ethics, and commitment to safety and sustainability in engineering practice.
