Muhammad Adrian Fadhilah and the various awards he received

ITS Kampus, ITS News – The many achievements and achievements have led to Muhammad Adrian Fadhilah being selected as Student Achievement (Mawapres) Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) 2021 undergraduate category. This Industrial and Systems Engineering student has a big dream to become a representative of his alma mater and can make the nation proud.

Being a Mawapres is a dream that this young man from Gresik has always wanted since elementary school. Talking about his dream, Adrian has a big goal to provide a valuable value for his place to gain knowledge as well as being a representative wherever he studies now. “I want to be a representative for schools from elementary school, even to junior high, high school, and college. I want to always be like that,” said the hobbyist of writing.

Based on the presentation of the student who was born on July 9, 2000, he began to be able to realize his desire when he was an ITS student. Starting the struggle to achieve a dream, in 2019, this young man who is familiarly called Adrian succeeded in representing ITS in the 2019 Seoul International Invention Fair (IIF) which was held in South Korea and appeared in front of 635 inventors from 30 countries. From there Adrian has higher aspirations in realizing the Tridharma of Higher Education, namely to become a representative of Indonesia.

From his valuable experience, Adrian said that he received a lot of new learning about student identity, which is measured in academic abilities and the scope of organization and creation. This is what keeps Adrian going forward and competing, especially in the fields of innovation and invention. He has successfully brought home various awards, one of which is becoming a gold medalist at the ASEAN Innovative Science and Entrepreneur Fair (AISEF) last February 2021.

Observing his motivation, participating in the Mawapres event did not necessarily mean that Adrian was proud of himself, ITS scientific trainer said that his biggest hope was none other than to make his parents proud. “When talking about motivation to follow Mawapres, one main thing I want to aim at is to make a smile on my parent’s faces,” explained the 2018 class student.

Not only that, but Adrian also shared his determination in life to continue learning while spreading benefits for others. Thus, participating in the Mawapres event is one of Adrian’s steps to fulfill this goal. “By becoming Mawapres, this is my chance to be able to share with others and provide positive things that can be heard and captured more widely by others,” he continued.

Of course, he did not achieve this extraordinary achievement instantly. There have been ups and downs, one of which is when he never brought home a champion title in the various competitions he participated in. However, Adrian was able to anticipate failure and become a productive person thanks to his hard work and a constructive environment. “Since college, I have become a more productive person and the environment in my department has been very supportive,” said Adrian.

During his time as an ITS student, the Project Manager at Science Hunter Indonesia (SHI) won at least 33 awards both regionally and internationally from seven different countries, namely Indonesia, Taiwan, Macau, Argentina, Malaysia, Ecuador, and South Korea. Not quite there yet, Adrian is also a recipient of the Bank Indonesia Excellence Scholarship and is often invited to be a speaker in scientific forums.

Ending the interview, given the mandate as ITS Mawapres, Adrian hopes that in the future he can become a representative of ITS to win the National Mawapres title in August, and continue to be a developing human being. “I hope to be able to take part in boasting the name of ITS and also hope that ITS can produce many students who excel in their respective fields,” he concluded.
