The participation of Ukrida's Civil Engineering Students will get more lessons and experiences about the civil engineering projects. Presentations which always discussed is regarding to infrastructure project such as its planning, constructing and also maintaining and operational. Not just listening to the presentation, Ukrida's Civil Engineering Students also participated in ICE Annual Structural Challenge competition. This competition challenge is constructed bridge using ice cream sticks, straws, rubber band and it will be tested by ICE team. Loading test is used to ensure the strength of that bridge.

Recently he perform a project for a port's container terminal in Jakarta-Indonesia (JICT). Therefore, a traffic research was performed based on a Monte Carlo simulation and animations on traffic and queues were performed. He also explained his plans to change the route, move the gate, and add routes for container truck. Based on his research for over 1 year, he convinced that his plan is able to reduce the queuing times on the terminal.
