Abstract

This community service program, conducted by Universitas Negeri Padang in Nagari Kamang Hilia, Agam Regency, focused on the planning, construction, and utilization of a micro-hydro power plant to support local agricultural activities. The program began with coordination with the Nagari government and community to identify challenges and beneficiaries, followed by technical surveys including water discharge mapping, hydraulic head measurement, and land suitability analysis using GIS and UAV-based mapping. Based on these data, detailed engineering designs were prepared for the turbulence-based intake structure, inlet channel, and powerhouse. The project then advanced to the construction of civil works, the installation of turbines, generators, and control panels, and the testing of the operational system. With an installed capacity of up to 5 kW, the plant now provides renewable electricity for agricultural use and street lighting, helping reduce dependence on costly diesel engines. Training and counseling were also delivered to ensure that the community can operate and maintain the system independently. The program demonstrates how micro-hydro technology can be effectively applied to foster rural electrification, empower local farmers, and contribute to sustainable development goals.

Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have become key technologies used widely, not only for military operations but also for mapping, monitoring volcanic activity, and producing documentary videos. Two tools advancing rapidly and highly relevant to vocational education are drones and theodolites. Their adoption in vocational schools still lags behind, especially in rural areas, so Geomatics teachers need capacity building to update Land Surveying course materials and transfer practical skills to students. This science and technology outreach program aims to equip teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Lubuk Sikaping with foundational knowledge and skills for operating drones and theodolites, along with data analysis for aerial mapping. The training is arranged sequentially, beginning with an introduction to platforms, sensors, operating principles, and safety; continuing with field practice covering mission planning, control point acquisition, and calibration procedures; and concluding with data and video processing for construction project needs, including georeferencing, orthomosaic generation, elevation modeling, and extracting relevant measurements. The targeted outputs include scientific publications in ISSN journals or national proceedings, an activity video of about 3 to 4 minutes, and coverage in print or online media. Through this program, the gap in technology and information mastery is expected to narrow, the curriculum to become more current, and teachers’ pedagogical and technical competencies to improve, particularly in structural and mapping applications. Graduates under their guidance will be better prepared to enter industry with strong spatial literacy, careful data acquisition, and a solid safety culture.
