phew,
This semester will turned out to be quite busying. As of this semester, unlike any other semesters before, I took extra credits. In the previous ones, I usually took 18 (the package) but as of this one I took 20 since I had several subjects that's needed to be retaken. Not to mention that the current semester will have two lab works plus one project.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Project. It's not ordinary project or assignment. It's a project that is done the whole semester. The subject is the Machine Elements Project for one credit only. But as you know, for real, it consumed more than just one credit. I took this project under the guide of Mr. Ignatius Pulung Nurprasetio and teamed up with two of my friends, Anda and Yudhi.
Mr. Pulung told us to make an analysis and synthesis of a rotary shaft. Since Yudhi was kind of interested in anything connected to automotive, he gave us the idea to take the topic of a motorcycle's camshaft.
At first, I didn't even know what a camshaft is. I never really liked automotives that much. But I thought that this might be a good media for me to learn, so I agreed with him. And there we were, deciding on taking the topic of a camshaft. Things that we needed to analyze according to Mr. Pulung were the camshaft itself, bearings, gears, chains, tensioners, etc.
In the first week, we go on a hunt of how to obtain the object we wanted to analyze, so we went to engineering market known as Jatayu. I passed there several times when I want to go back to Bandung from Cimahi, but I never actually visited the place. It was the first time for me. And yes, the market sells all kinds of engineering materials, from automotives to electrical generators. A real heaven for engineers. Anyway, after asking around and talking with the sellers, we finally got what we want: a camshaft for Rp.25000, a gear for Rp.5000 and a piece of bolt for Rp.500.
