Physics Student Internship Experience

Firdausi Shofia Brilianty: PT Dirgantara Indonesia

Firdausi Shofia Brilianty from Physics student 2016 who has done an internship at Indonesian Aerospace or official Indonesian name PT Dirgantara Indonesia. The company is engaged in the first and only aerospace in the Southeast Asia region. Indonesian Aerospace produces types of aircraft and helicopters to meet the need of civilian, military, and special missions. Firda did an internship in the QA or Quality Assurance, more specifically at the Bonding Composite Laboratory. This laboratory is divided into 2, namely destructive test and non-destructive test. The destructive test is a test that damages specimens or aircraft samples using pressure test, tensile test, and peel test, while the non-destructive test is the parts that test about waves, radiation rays, and others or can be called test that does not damage parts of the aircraft. In this place, all parts of the aircraft are tested, even the silencers or adhesives between parts. All tests are conducted based on the properties of physics science. Therefore, Firda's experience was very memorable because she could see directly from the manufacturing process to the testing phase of aircraft specimens. The Indonesian Aerospace is a suitable company for physics students who want to intern to learn a lot of physics on aircraft so that later they can design their own aircraft as done by Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie.

Khoirun Nisak: National Laboratory for Aerodynamics Aeroelastics and Aeroacoustics Technology (BBTA3)

Khoirun Nisak is a 2016 Physics student who has done an internship at the National Laboratory for Aerodynamics Aeroelastics and Aeroacoustics Technology (BBTA3), Agency for The Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) in the PUSPITEK area of South Tangerang. BBTA3 is a laboratory that functions to assess and test the application of aerodynamics, aeroelastic, and aeroacoustics technology. During his internship, Nisak joined the aeroacoustic field of instrumentation, which is learning to make a control system that will be used by servo AC. The control system that is made functions to control the speed of the servo rotation. After the servo can run properly, data is collected regarding the relationship between the analog speed generated by the servo and the potentiometer resistance. From this data, a graph of the relationship between angular velocity and resistance on the analog speed command CN 1 will be obtained which is linear. Here the instrumentation physics that has been learned on campus is implemented during the internship.
