Then field practice of the pyrolysis process, crushing charcoal, sieving, mixing, pressing, and drying the briquettes. The instructors of this activity are students taking the course MSB 398 Applications of Mechanical Engineering to Society. From the results of the training, the young people who have been appointed by the village head can make corn cob briquettes correctly and can also provide input that supports the process of making these briquettes better and produce larger quantities in a faster time.

Abstract

Currently, Ciherang Village in Nagreg Regency has abundant corn plantations that serve as the primary livelihood for its residents. The villagers mainly utilize corn kernels for food processing or resale, while the corn cobs are partially used to produce briquettes. However, a large amount of corn cob waste remains unutilized, often discarded into rivers or left in front of houses, creating an unpleasant sight and odor.One potential solution is to process the corn cob waste into composite boards (fiberboard), which are planned to be used as soundproofing materials for rooms or motor vehicles. This initiative aims to promote waste utilization, recycling, and contribute to the green economy. To assess the soundproofing characteristics of the fiberboard, several tests will be conducted, including acoustic testing, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, vibration, density, recovery, and water absorption testing.

Abstract

Desa Ciherang, yang terletak di Kabupaten Bandung, menghadapi tantangan pengelolaan limbah rumah tangga dan bonggol jagung sebagai limbah pertanian utama. Permasalahan ini diperparah oleh rendahnya tingkat pendidikan penduduk dan tingginya tingkat pengangguran usia produktif, yang menghambat pemanfaatan limbah menjadi sumber daya ekonomis. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, penelitian ini mengembangkan sistem digitalisasi berbasis aplikasi mobile bernama Pulus. Sistem ini dirancang untuk mendukung proses daur ulang limbah dengan menyediakan platform interaktif bagi masyarakat untuk memilah, menyetorkan, dan menjual limbah anorganik maupun organik kepada pengepul. Metode penelitian meliputi analisis kebutuhan mitra, perancangan sistem berbasis user-centered design, dan pengujian aplikasi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini mampu meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya pengelolaan limbah, mendorong partisipasi dalam program daur ulang, serta menciptakan peluang ekonomi baru melalui insentif finansial berbasis kontribusi daur ulang. Implementasi aplikasi Pulus di Desa Ciherang diharapkan tidak hanya mengurangi dampak lingkungan akibat limbah, tetapi juga meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui ekonomi sirkular. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan solusi berbasis teknologi untuk pengelolaan limbah berkelanjutan di daerah pedesaan.
