On the 4th and 5th of November 2024, a group of enthusiastic master’s students from various concentration studies, including Medical Informatics, Data Science, Enterprise Information Systems, and Digital Forensics, embarked on an insightful industry visit. This two-day event was organized to provide students with a closer look at the practical applications of their studies and to inspire innovation and career-focused growth. The visits were conducted at four significant locations: CIFOR-ICRAF, IPB, UNHAN, and Puslabfor Sentul.

The primary objective of this industry visit was to enhance the students’ research capabilities and provide them with valuable insights for their future careers. As part of their master’s program, students are required to conduct in-depth research. These visits allowed them to see first-hand how research is conducted in professional environments, thus motivating them to pursue excellence in their own projects. Additionally, this exposure is aimed at sparking innovative ideas and fostering a deeper understanding of the real-world applications of their studies.

What a wonderful experience happened to our fellow collages who had a chances to join research and publication programs in Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) Malaysia. There are two program held by UTP namely, Research Attachment Programme (RAP) and Science and Engineering Design Exhibition (SEDEX). The programs was attended by three of our students Ruhil Iswara (RAP), Arif Faizal and Timothy Dilan (SEDEX). Both the programs were supported by Informatics Master Program UII to enhance the skill on research for our students.

Here we have their testimonials about the programs.

‘This program was a research expertise which focused in research publication for international level which indexed by Scopus. During the time I was accompanied by Ts. Dr. Nurul Aida Osman, a lecturer from Computer and Information Sciences Department in UTP’  -Ruhil Iswara

The research was started at 2 October 2023 and last until three months. From the program, Ruhil believes he got a benefit which is a significant impact for his research experience and academic achievement.

Kali ini kita akan membahas mengenai penelitian yang dilakukan oleh dosen Forensika Digital, Dr. Ahmad Luthfi, S.Kom., M.Kom. tentang Validasi Investigasi Forensik Digital: Tantangan dan Prespektif Ilmiah. Menurut Dr. Ahmad Luthfi, analisis forensika digital masih memiliki banyak kekurangan dan peluang kerentanan terutama dalam aspek validasi.

“Salah satu aspek penting dan krusial dari tahapan investigasi forensika digital adalah memastikan integritas data yang dikumpulkan sehingga dapat disajikan sebagai bukti yang sah dalam pengadilan.” Ujar Dr.Ahmad Luthfi.

Oleh karena itu, diusulkan sebuah model validasi dengan pendekatan yang sistematis dan teruji. Berikut beberapa aktivitas yang terdapat dalam proses validasi:

Pertama, alat bantu analsis sebaiknya memiliki kumpulan data empiris (empirical datasets) yang sudah teruji untuk dapat dikonfigurasikan sebagai basis pengetahuan terhadap kasus kejahatan siber yang serupa.

Kedua, mengembangkan sebuah matriks untuk mengukur secara presisi dan akurat metode dan alat bantu yang digunakan, termasuk kemungkinan jika ditemukan kesalahan analisis (bugs).

Ketiga, memanfaatkan teknik pembelajaran mesin (machine learning) dan kecerdasan buatan (artifical intelligence) untuk beralih dari teknik semi otomasi menjadi analisis otomasi keseluruhan.

Itu adalah sedikit pemaparan dari penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Dr.Ahmad Luthfi, S.Kom., M.Kom. Dosen Forensika Digital Program Studi Informatika Program Magister dalam penelitiannya yang berjudul “Validasi Investigasi Forensik Digital: Tantangan dan Prespektif Ilmiah”.

Dua Mahasiswa aktif Program Studi Informatika Program Magister, Adinda Meutia dan Isna Khoirunnisa, berhasil mendapatkan Beasiswa/pendanaan dari Erasmus+ setelah melalui rangkaian proses seleksi. Kedua Mahasiswa mengikuti study exchange, selama satu semester di Program Magister Manajemen Sistem Informasi, University of South-Eastern Norway pada 16 Januari 2023 sampai 23 Juni 2023. Beasiswa/pendanaan yang didapat merupakan bagian dari kerjasama bilateral antara Universitas Islam Indonesia dan University of South-Eastern Norway.

Bagaimana pengalaman mereka selama menempuh pendidikan di University of South-Eastern Norway? Simak wawancara tentang pengalaman mereka saat dihubungi melalui aplikasi perpesanan WhatsApp berikut ini. 

Tentu sedih meninggalkan keluarga dan teman-teman, apalagi nantinya kami akan menjalani puasa dan lebaran di negeri orang. Namun saya merasa amat beruntung dapat berkuliah di luar negeri meskipun hanya untuk satu semester, begitu banyak pelajaran hidup yang dapat saya ambil, saya dapat beradaptasi dan bersosialisasi dengan baik selama menjalani perkuliahan meskipun sempat mengkhawatirkan kemampuan berbahasa inggris saya. Tapi ternyata ketakutan saya tidak terbukti. Yang unik dari sistem pembelajaran disini adalah jika di Indonesia setiap minggu kita mendapat perkuliahan untuk semua mata kuliah yg kita ambil, tapi disini misalnya minggu pertama kuliah kita bisa hanya mendapat 1 atau 2 matakuliah dan minggu depan mata kuliah yg lain. Tapi 1 mata kuliah perkuliahannya bisa 3 hari berturut-turut.” Ujar Adinda Meutia ketika membagikan pengalamannya selama menempuh pendidikan di University of South-Eastern, Norway.

Senada dengan Adinda, Isna Khoirunnisa juga berpendapat tentang pengalamannya dan harapannya selama menempuh pendidikan di University of South-Eastern Norway.

Dari segi kurikulum pasti ada perbedaan, akan tetapi, perbedaan itu bukanlah perihal materi pembelajaran dan lebih kepada jadwal kuliah. Mahasiswa di USN sangat beragam berasal dari berbagai negara, bahkan di kelas saya sendiri, yang berasal dari Norwegia hanya sekitar 3 orang. Mendapat pengalaman baru tentang memahami karakteristik orang beragam. Harapannya tentu saja, saya bisa menyelesaikan studi disini dengan hasil yang baik dan memuaskan. Dan semoga program exchange ini bisa terus berjalan sehingga ada banyak kesempatan lain untuk mahasiswa UII khususnya prodi informatika baik Magister maupun Sarjana. Terimakasih juga kepada Prof. Fathul, Pak Raf’ie, Pak irving dan Pak Teduh, serta jajaran prodi Informatika yang membukakan kesempatan yang luar biasa ini.”
