Judul: Persepsi Mahasiswa Fakultas Kehutanan Institut Pertanian Bogor untuk Berkiprah di Bidang Kehutanan
Abstrak: Increasing the role of educated human resource especially forestry is expected to overcome the problems of poverty and degradation of forest resources. According to data DPKHA IPB (2013), the percentage of Faculty of Forestry alumni who were graduate from 2009 to 2011, which work in forestry are 64.11% and only 2.8% who take part in developing entrepreneurship. This research aims to determine the tendency of students to take part in the Faculty of Forestry by working in government institutions, private companies, or entrepreneurship. Retrieval of data using questionnaires with respondents are students of the Faculty of Forestry IPB class of 2010 to 2012. Results showed 82% of students want to work in the forestry sector by choosing the government sector with the highest percentage of 65.26%; whereas, for the development of forestry entrepreneurs only chosen by 10.64% of respondents. The tendency of students to collaborate with forestry students, other agricultural and communities in the development of entrepreneurship is relatively high with percentage of requirement above 90%.

Judul: Persepsi Mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor untuk Berkiprah di Bidang Kehutanan
Abstrak: Peran Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) terdidik di bidang kehutanan menjadi harapan besar dalam upaya mengatasi persoalan-persoalan dalam pengelolaan hutan di Indonesia, namun untuk mengatasinya diperlukan adanya kolaborasi, koordinasi, dan komunikasi dengan lulusan pertanian lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kecenderungan Mahasiswa IPB untuk berkiprah di bidang kehutanan dengan bekerja di institusi pemerintah, perusahaan swasta, atau berwirausaha serta ketertarikan Mahasiswa IPB untuk berkolaborasi dalam bisnis kehutanan. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dengan responden mahasiswa IPB angkatan 2010 dari 10 departemen yang memiliki kedekatan bidang ilmu dengan kehutanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hanya sebanyak 1.6% responden yang menjadikan kehutanan sebagai prioritas utamanya dalam berkarir dan 17.5% responden memilih untuk mengembangkan wirausaha di bidang pertanian. Kecenderungan mahasiswa untuk berkolaborasi dengan lulusan kehutanan, pertanian lainnya, dan masyarakat dalam pengembangan wirausaha kehutanan tergolong tinggi dengan persentase di atas 90 %.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
