PREFACE
We give thanks to the presence of God Almighty. Thanks to his
grace and guidance, we were able to finish this magazine. We also
thank Ms. Chyntia Heru Woro Prastiwi as an English lecturer. Last,
we would like to thank all the members who have worked hard to
create this magazine
We realize that the magazine we have created is still far from
perfect, both in terms of composition, language, and writing.
Therefore, we really hope for constructive critics and suggestions
from all readers to be a reference so that writers can become even
better in the future.
Hopefully, this magazine can add knowledge and experience for
readers and can be useful for the future.

That’s why civil engineers don’t just work in companies like Ken’s.
You’ll also find them in municipal, state, and federal government
settings, research facilities, and universities. Ken holds a bachelor
of science and a master’s of science degree in civil engineering.
Very rarely does he works on anything by himself. But together,
that helps them to come up with the best solutions to the problems.
In a sense, their job is to pave the way for the future by
incorporating new materials, building techniques, and new ways to
save energy.
Green ideas like these are changing the way buildings are being
built and renovated all over the world. He thinks there are so many
other difficult questions about the building’s energy needs.
Engineers can be more involved with all aspects of that “instead of
just taking the skin that they give us for granted, let’s go back and
try to engineer a better way”
Ken sees Chicago as a living city, ever-evolving and ever in need
of improvement. “there’s always something new to work on. It’s
wonderful having that feeling that all of your hard work has paid off
into something tangible.”

GREEN BUILDING
What’s green building ??
Is a building that combines the concept of good land layout, efficient
electrical energy, efficient use of water, comfortable room conditions,
environmentally friendly building materials and does not cause pollution, as
well as in building and operating buildings in a green or environmentally
friendly manner. The purpose of this green building was designed for
healthy buildings and does not have bad influences on the surrounding
environment, the goal of this green building is to boost efficiency in the use
of power while reducing some negative things that can harm the
environment. Green building is also created to change negative impact and
turn them into a positive impact on the environment. Recycling garbage
before it is discharged into rivers is one example.

CIVILIANS HUB
Civilians Hub: Evidence of A Great Opportunity to Build A Civil
Engineering Startup Company
As we know, today's digital demands are very high in social life. Likewise in the field of civil
engineering, there are currently a lot of the latest innovations in this field. Civil engineering,
which is arguably the science of civilization, must always be able to adapt to these
technological advances.
Talking about technology, lately, there are a lot of people talking about a Startup. For some
people, the word Startup is certainly familiar, Startup companies are mostly engaged in
technology with the aim of solving problems that develop in social life. The President of the
Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo in the opening of the Digital Generation Acceleration
said that currently Indonesia has 2,319 startups and continues to grow.
However, these Startups are very rarely found in the civil engineering sector. Still
can be counted on the fingers for this Startup that moves from the sector of civil
engineering. This was seen from 4 civil engineering students who have then used it
as an opportunity to intervene and present themselves by creating a startup in the
field of civil engineering.
Finally, on March 23, 2021, a digital Startup engaged in education focused on civil
engineering was born called Civilians Hub. Civilians Hub is here to answer
problems in the field of civil engineering, especially the gap between the
professional world, the world of education, and society. Starting from the field of
Education, Civilians Hub focuses on civil construction by disseminating knowledge
and simplifying information that is packaged more informative and easy to
understand.

that they have 3 main
missions, the first to

The second is to organize seminars and training in the field of civil
engineering for prospective civil engineering engineers. Then the last
one is to establish mutually beneficial cooperation synergistically with
business partners and official and private institutions. With these three
missions, Civilians Hub believes that they can give a new color to the
world of civil engineering and be able to connect the gaps between
professionals, academia, and society.
Since its establishment, Civilians Hub has tried to be active on social
media through Instagram (@civilians.hub). Civilians Hub routinely
provides a digital content literacy platform, especially regarding the
development of the civil engineering world through Instagram.
Currently, Civilians Hub has more than 3,500 followers on Instagram.
Civilians Hub has held 2 webinars with the term “Bincang Teknik”, each
webinar was attended by more than 250 participants from all over
Indonesia. In addition, Civilians Hub has also successfully organized a
software training event called “Civilians Corner” that supports the
analysis of high-rise structures, namely the ETABS software short
course.
