The Study Program Management together with the Department provided the fund planning and management. The fund managed were from students’ tuition and cooperation/sponsor scholarship, government State Budget, and research cooperation and public services. The fund management was performed with transparent and accountable mechanism, which was determining the Work Plan and Budget (RKA) made gradually from department, faculty and institute. The fund utilization was then reported in writing periodically in the current year. Tuition fee in the form of single tuition (UKT) with varied amount among students whose payment is scheduled in the beginning of each semester. The fund for education were obtained by the Department from various resources. The expenditure of these funds includes procurement, maintenance and repair of facilities for education.

The SPPA was made according to DM-SP reception realization for one year and State Budget Portion allocated to the Department in IPB. Tuition fund went into the Rector account, then the Department withdrawn the fund as needed by the Study Program for education implementation activities. The fund withdrawal referred to the SPPA. Fund management activities for education implementation were performed and the fund utilization accountability could be made every month by the Head of Department to IPB Finance Bureau online and in hard copy. Education funds also come from research collaborations with parties at home and abroad. Research funds channeled for lecturer research also contribute positively to the continuity of education at SP TMA (Appendix 4.3.). Department’s performance efficiency improvement can be performed through fund utilization. This activity can be performed through appropriate fund allocation, such as education implementation tariff upgrade especially fees for practicum materials, addition or upgrading laboratory facilities with the latest ones, as well as replacing worn-out education and research facilities.
Lecture FacilitiesIn learning implementation, lecturers are facilitated with supplies to ensure the smooth activities. There were 18 lecturers’ rooms where each lecturer occupies an average room area of 13 m2. The rooms were used to perform daily routines and students’ consultation. All lecturers’ rooms are equipped with office facilities, air conditioner and internet access. This comfort is necessary so that lecturers can work well in giving services, especially to students. Students can use the computer provided by the institution in the computer room in the IPB University library area. In addition, students can also provide computers independently for the benefit of their studies. Learning implementation is conducted in a room with capacity adjusted to the number of students. Every classroom is equipped with white board, LCD projector, fan or AC, and internet access, as well as sound system for the rooms with big capacity (100 students). The Department still provide laptop for class needs even though every lecturer already has personal computer. Camera is used to document lecturers’ activities related to the learning, such as slide and video material making. Electric generator is necessary when electricity from PLN is cut off, so it will not hinder the learning process, especially courses, practicums, seminar and final assignment exams. Lecturers have another facility in the form of lecturer room

The laboratories are Production Technique and Aquaculture Management laboratory, Aquatic Organism Reproduction and Genetics laboratory, Fish Nutrition laboratory, Fish Health laboratory, Aquaculture Environment laboratory. Each laboratory has specific tools for education and research purposes (Appendix 4.3). Additional lab facilities were provided centrally by IPB. The lab facilities were upgraded by establishing an integrated lab in faculty level with open access for all academics of FPIK-IPB including PS TMA. Upgrade on the lab facilities in the Aquaculture Department was performed routinely by providing a budget of 250 million Rupiah per year.

Computer and Internet Facilities
The Department provides 14 personal computers (PC) and 13 laptops for learning process management, finance and administration. All the PCs are connected to internet through cable network (LAN), while the laptops and other gadgets are connected through wireless network in the form of WiFi. The cable networks are available in all rooms, namely in administration, finance, head, lecturers, laboratory, classrooms, as well as students’ practicum rooms with the total approximately 52 spots. The PCs and internet are also available in students’ practicum rooms in floor 2 and 4. The rooms are also equipped with tables and chairs, and printers that can be used by students to print.
Internet access in the Department is from the connection with the main server located in IPB Rectorate Building. This network can be accessed with speed (bandwith) up to 100 mbps. This wireless network is more efficient in application compared with using cable network, especially for the flexibility in internet because the rooms are spread.
Internet access in practicum rooms spread across the Department area is fulfilled by installing 10 wifi routers. All the WiFis are mounted minimum 2 units in each floor. WiFis are mounted on the bot spots adjacent with practicum rooms, either outdoor or indoor. Thus, this facility provides internet usage flexibility, either outdoor or indoor reaching all campus areas. Internet is open access by using the password owned by each user. Internet facility is accessible 24/7.
Satisfactory Survey for Facilities
Students’ satisfaction on the learning facilities were obtained through survey from 50 respondents comprising students Generation 54 (2017/2018), 55 (2018/2019) and 56 (2019/2020). Students’ satisfaction survey on education facilities in the form of classrooms and labs, labs and research facilities completeness, books facility in the library and journals subscribed by IPB, internet facility, as well as supporting facilities such as worship facility, canteen, sports and health/insurance. The survey on students’ satisfaction was conducted by choosing a score 1-4 for each facility. The score indicates 1=lack, 2=sufficient, 3=good, and 4=excellent.
The survey result showed that students in general were satisfied with the facilities provided by IPB. Students relatively stated more satisfied on the main facilities by giving score 4. For supporting facilities, students in majority stated good (score 3) compared with excellent (score 4). Significantly, students stated their satisfaction on lab facilities, either for learning (practicum) or for research.
Facility improvement needs to be implemented to classrooms and practicum rooms, books availability in the library, as well as internet access availability. Internet access improvements need to be performed are on wider and more even distribution, as well as network stability and speed improvement. In general, the supporting facilities in the form of worship place, canteen and health facilities need to be improved so that the services enjoyed by students can be more optimal (Appendix 4.4)
Research equipment and facilities at SP TMA are limited, but this condition is overcome by the use of integrated laboratories both at the faculty level and advanced laboratories at IPB; in collaboration with other institutions within the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), the Technology Application Research Agency (BPPT), as well as with private companies. This cooperation can reduce the lack of facilities and equipment in SP TMA.
