The presentation of the CIO (Computational Intelligence & Optimization) Division by Dr. Medria K. D Hardhienata, S.Komp. as the Head of the CIO
The computer science research division was formed to support the research activities of lecturers and students. There are three research divisions in computer science: CIO, SEIS, and CSN.
The Importance of Conducting Research
Research is an important thing which will improve living standards, a place to exchange ideas with others, get an atmosphere to discuss together and contribute to science.
The relationship between the CIO, SEIS, and CSN
CIO divisions consist of the application section (climate modeling, speech recognition, computer vision, geoinformatics, and bioinformatics) and algorithms (machine learning, data mining, information retrieval, agent-based simulation). There is collaboration between divisions such as CIO and SEIS when designing applications where CIO is the AI backend and SEIS takes part in the software engineering.

Sharing Session with CIO Alumni, Willyam
Willyam, CIO Alumni and KOM53, is a data analyst for Kulina. During this pandemic, Kulina implemented remote work system, some worked in the office and some worked from home. As Kulina’s data analyst, Willyam is in charge of providing data requested by other functional units or divisions, building dashboards to help with operations and management if needed related to certain data.
The reason for choosing the CIO scientific lab
Willyam chose the CIO scientific lab because during the 4th semester, he was interested in the Quantitative Method course which teaches the basic techniques of Data Mining. The following semester, there were more and more courses that led to data mining, until finally when the final project he chose the topic of Data Mining which is a research field in the CIO division.
Tips for choosing a research field and final project topic
First, find out your passion or interest in what field, then find out which lecturers open the topic according to your field of interest. Sometimes lecturers already have their own topics.
Participate in brainstorming related to the topic, join Pak Irman (supervisor) to discuss research topics.
The benefits obtained
In addition to the application of data mining techniques, you can also learn more about the research background.
The relationship between the things learned while at the CIO and current jobs
Several subjects such as data mining and data bases.
Question and Answer Session
Q: During a pandemic, do CIOs hold regular online research and meetings?
A: Meanwhile, the discussion is virtual using collaboration applications.
Q: 1) Why hasn’t the computer science department discussed final assignments, supervisors, or thesis until 6th semester, while other departments already have supervisors and discussed the topic of final assignments since 4th semester? 2) How to start research on the CIO division?
A: 1) 1st and 2nd Semester are more focused on providing a scientific foundation. Subjects that focus on specialization and problem solving are introduced when students are at 3rd semester. Students can learn independently by joining communities in Computer Science. The expectation is that 3rd semester already knows what fields to explore. 2) The CIO Division will facilitate students to brainstorm. There are topics that emerge driven by discussion(or driven by interest). If you haven’t found an idea after discussing and reading various papers, you can use the topic offered by supervisors. Students will be given research topics from lecturers, then choose the topic they want to take up.
Q: Dear Willyam, is there a relationship between the current work on the topic in the final?
A: Not too relates to the final project, but pretty much involves lessons in the Course Database and Data Mining (Data extraction). Tips if interested work related to data, learn SQL.

Sharing Session with CSN Alumni, Marchelia Fika Pratiwi
Marchelia Fika Pratiwi, CSN and KOM51 Alumni, is a Jejak.in IoT Engineer. Ms. Fika has been working as an IoT Engineer since 2 years ago. The focus of her work is making a product to solve problems faced by clients that need to be resolved using the IoT equipment offered by the company.
IoT is described as connecting all components in one network, so that they can monitor or observe something mobile (remotely).
During this pandemic, Ms. Fika still had to return to the office if she needed equipment in the office.
The reason for choosing a topic in the CSN scientific lab
Because there are problems in the surrounding environment where there are hydroponic cultivators who often work out of town so that their agricultural land cannot be monitored every day. From these problems, Ms. Fika discussed and conducted research, until finally she was interested in bringing up the topic as her final project topic. In addition, this problem also brought Ms. Fika to become an IoT Engineer as she is today.
Tips for choosing a research field and final assignment topic
After knowing the problem to be raised, discuss it with the lecturer who is good at the topic. In addition, it is also important to consider a certain area of interest when choosing a research topic.
The relationship between the things learned while at the CSN and current jobs
Ms. Fika decided to become an IoT Engineer after determining the final assignment topic. In addition, Data Communication courses are also closely related to current jobs.
Question and Answer Session
Q: How do students join the scientific division?
A: At that time, they were given specialization and were given the opportunity to choose labs and lecturers according to the topic to be taken (the topic came from their own ideas or continued research for pre-existing topics). If you already have a topic of your own, meet the lecturer to consult on that topic and ask about their willingness to become a supervisor.
Q: For the CSN field, does the research topic have to be related to agriculture in a broad sense?
A: Not necessarily, but if you are interested in agriculture, there are many problems that must be resolved. It is highly recommended to take topics related to agriculture because it can help friends in other fields / departments at IPB.
Q: How are the activities in the CSN division? Isn’t it expensive for the equipment?
A: it doesn’t have to be expensive, the CSN division needs hardware equipment to support activities in the lab (practicum and research). The equipment is more modern, so the equipment is still simple robotic equipment. The funds come from IPB and Computer Science Department. For large equipment, CSN usually collaborates with other institutions.
Q: How do doctoral students join the Computer Science scientific division?
A: During the first year of entering college, you are welcome to join the division you are interested in, not necessarily for research or when doing your final project. It is advisable to discuss in advance and identify related scientific fields in order to make it easier to determine the final project idea.
Q: What courses are useful for alumni in the world of work?
A: As an IoT Engineer, the most frequently used courses are Data Communication and Computer Networks (Komdat) and Digital Circuits (Radig). There is also a Digital Image Processing (PCD) course.

Experience in determining the topic
There are several subjects that he likes each semester. For example, in 2nd semester, he was interested in Database courses, 4th semester was interested in RPL courses, 5th Semester was interested in Information Systems and IMK. Until finally he was interested in things related to software engineering and chose UX for his final project. Back then, UX was new to industry use. Afif is interested because UX is definitely needed in industries in the future. In addition, Afif often visits the multimedia lab to do research related to user personas and other things related to UX.
The relationship between the things learned while at the SEIS and current jobs
As in RPL (making ERD) it is very useful in the world of work as a software engineer. The main job of a software engineer is coding. Technical Architect doesn’t code anymore, but rather ERD, hardware specs, etc. Learn to make SKPL (create the requirements needed to create an information system, usually used by a project manager). MK IMK teaches how to make the best software for users.
The most memorable college project
Project in Information Systems course, which is an application that helps the administration of several documents that require bureaucracy from the government.
