Udayana University Faculty of Engineering Students Achieve Proud Achievements at the 2026 Polytechnic of Engineering Competition
Students from the Faculty of Engineering at Udayana University have once again achieved impressive achievements in engineering and manufacturing through a prestigious regional competition. This achievement was achieved at the 2026 POLITEKNIK MESIN COMPETITION, held by the Bali State Polytechnic on Saturday, May 24, 2026, at the Bali State Polytechnic campus.
The Faculty of Engineering at Udayana University was represented by Ni Made Andari Paramita (NIM 2505531038) from the Mechanical Engineering Study Program. In the Welding category of the Bali Region, Ni Made Andari Paramita won third place in the Basic 3D Plate category and was awarded the Favorite Welder Woman award at the 2026 POLITEKNIK MESIN COMPETITION.
This success is a proud achievement for the Faculty of Engineering at Udayana University, particularly the Mechanical Engineering Study Program, in demonstrating the quality and competence of its students in the fields of welding and manufacturing. Welding competitions are known as a branch of engineering that requires a high level of precision, practical skills, consistency, and technical understanding. Participants are required to produce precise welds that meet industry standards, both in terms of strength, neatness, and workmanship.
Engineering competitions such as welding competitions are currently a crucial platform for developing student competencies in manufacturing and industrial engineering. Various universities in Indonesia continue to encourage students to actively participate in similar competitions as a means of improving their practical skills and preparing them to meet the demands of modern industry. National manufacturing and welding-based competitions are also growing and serve as indicators of engineering students' ability to master modern industrial technology.
Welding is a crucial competency in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Welding skills relate not only to the metal joining process but also to aspects of occupational safety, accuracy, material mastery, and industry quality standards. In the modern industrial world, workers with good welding skills are highly sought after in the construction, manufacturing, shipping, energy, and heavy equipment sectors.
Ni Made Andari Paramita's achievement also demonstrates that Udayana University Faculty of Engineering students are capable of competing and demonstrating their quality amidst engineering student competitions from various universities in Bali. Furthermore, the Favorite Welder Woman award recognizes the abilities of female students in the fields of manufacturing and welding engineering, which have long been synonymous with the heavy industry.
This achievement is expected to motivate all Udayana University Faculty of Engineering students to continue developing their potential, skills, and academic and non-academic abilities through various competitions, training, and self-development activities. The Udayana University Faculty of Engineering remains committed to supporting students in creating a culture of achievement, innovation, and competency development relevant to technological developments and the needs of the industrial world.
With this achievement, the Udayana University Faculty of Engineering once again demonstrates its standing as a university capable of producing superior, competitive, and capable students in the fields of engineering and technology, both regionally and nationally.
