Malang - A joint team from four Engineering Study Programs of State Islamic University (UIN) Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang - Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering - carried out a community service program in 2025 with the big theme of renewable energy education. This activity targeted four partner schools, namely Almaarif Singosari Islamic High School, Diponegoro Wagir Islamic High School, Pujon NU Islamic High School, and Sunan Ampel Poncokusumo NU Vocational School. (5/7).

Through an educational approach and simulation-based practicum, students are invited to recognize and explore the concept of environmentally friendly energy that can be applied in everyday life. The real implementation of this program is the Solar Energy Kit and Wind Energy Kit assembly training which directly shows how solar energy and wind energy work in generating electricity.

"We want to foster a spirit of innovation as well as concern for the environment among students. Renewable energy is not just a theory, but they can practice it simply at school or home," said one of the team's representative lecturers. The activity began with a survey and identification of school needs, followed by interactive socialization about renewable energy, tool assembly practice, and evaluation through reflective discussions. In addition, the team also introduced the profile of UIN Malang Engineering Study Program and its academic atmosphere to provide students with broader insights regarding higher education in engineering at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University Malang.

From this activity, a number of achievements were made. The students showed an increased understanding of environmentally friendly energy, both solar energy and wind energy, and gained hands-on experience in assembling and testing simple devices. Not only that, this activity also encourages contextual learning that connects science, technology and global environmental issues.

With this activity, the UIN Malang Engineering Study Program Team hopes that students will not only understand the basics of renewable energy, but also be inspired to develop simple technological innovations that support the national energy transition and realize a young generation who cares about environmental sustainability.
