(31/8) The Department of Electrical Engineering (DTE) Undip organized a Summer Course titled Electro Tech Summer Institute (ETSI) 2024. This Summer Course program was held from 25 August to 1 September 2024 and was attended by dozens of students from three prestigious universities in Malaysia.
The ETSI 2024 Summer Course aims to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into electrical and computer engineering. Participants from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Multimedia University, and Nottingham University Malaysia will learn in Semarang about various electrical and computer engineering skills that can contribute to sustainable solutions, both during their studies and in the professional world.
“This year, the ETSI Summer Course is not just an academic program, it is also a unique opportunity for all to engage deeply with SDGs and to explore our world in electrical and computer engineering and can contribute to creating a sustainable future,” said Eko Handoyo, S.T, M.T, ETSI 2024 chairperson.
ETSI 2024 participants not only get lectures, but also have direct learning experiences through visits. One of them is by visiting the CBIOM3S Laboratory.
In ETSI 2024, the participants were involved in several activities, from visiting the Education and Training Implementation Unit (UPDL) of PLN Semarang to attending lecturers from Prof. Bulan Prabawani about Undip’s role in advancing SDGs and from Prof. Nooritawati Md Tahir on how to write and prepare manuscripts and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In addition, the participants also had the opportunity to visit CBIOM3S Laboratory to learn directly about various research and innovations made by Undip researchers in the biomedical field. Apart from obtaining academic experience, the participants also experienced cultural exposure through visits to several cultural sites in Semarang and Yogyakarta.
ETSI 2024 participants came from three reputable universities in Malaysia, namely Universiti Teknologi MARA, Multimedia University, and Nottingham University Malaysia.
Prof. Dr. Jamari, S.T, M.T, as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, hoped that the students who joined ETSI 2024 will not only learn academic stuff but also obtain memorable cultural experiences while in Indonesia.
“Summer Course is not the first, the first thing is you have to be happy here, you can learn about anything, Malaysia, from Semenanjung to Serawak-Sabah is almost the same. But Indonesia is completely different from Aceh until Papua. We are very huge, and the culture is also very diverse. This is the most interesting thing for you,” he said.
One of the participants, Vimalrich Selvam from Multimedia University, said he was happy with this Summer Course program. He was amazed by the culture and politeness of Indonesians during the program at Undip. “It’s very nice to see your culture here. All people are so polite. You guys are very kind in welcoming us,” stated Vimalrich.
ETSI 2024 is expected to be a platform for Undip to contribute to advancing SDGs and collaborating with international partners. “These activities aimed to increase the collaboration, not only for the faculty but also between two countries,” concluded Ir.

(30/7) The Study Program of the Professional Program for Engineers (PSPPI) of the Faculty of Engineering Undip held the 11th Engineers Oath-taking ceremony for July 2024. The ceremony was held at Prof. Soedarto, SH Building, Undip Tembalang Campus, and was attended by 195 new engineers who graduated from PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip.
This period’s Engineers’ Oath-taking ceremony is becoming the latest achievement from PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip. This is because, for the first time, PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip successfully took oath its graduates from the 2-semester Full Regular program. Previously, PSPPI had held professional engineer classes in the form of the Recognition of Past Learning (Rekognisi Pembelajaran Lampau, RPL) program and the 1-semester Regular-Compacted program.
195 new engineers of PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip posed together at Prof. Soedarto, SH Building
“From these 195 engineers, Alhamdulillah (praise be to God) in this period we held the Regular class. Previously, there was the Regular-Compacted class, and now there is a Regular class that undergoes 2 semesters, although still in the small numbers. Hopefully, with the implementation of this Regular class, the vision of PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering can be achieved,” said the Head of the PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip, Prof. Dr. Widayat, S.T, M.T, IPM
In this July 2024 period, 146 engineers successfully earned the cum laude predicate. In addition, in this period the engineers also received the Professional Engineer Certificate (Sertifikat Insinyur Profesional, SIP) replacing the Graduation Certificate. This follows the Law No. 14 of 2014 on Engineering Affairs
The General Secretary of the Institution of Engineers of Indonesia (PII), ), Ir. Bambang Goeritno, M.Sc, MPA, IPU, APEC Engineer, appreciated the increase in the number of engineers who successfully graduated from PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip this time. He hopes that it can continue to grow in the future. “I need to congratulate you (PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering) because now there are 195 engineers who graduated from the program. I think this is a record breaker because it has never reached that number before. And the total number (of graduates from PSPPI of the Faculty of Engineering Undip) is 945. This means that there are quite a large amount of engineers who have graduated. I hope that the engineers here can become ambassadors in their workplaces to invite their friends to join the professional engineers program,” he said.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Dr. Jamari, S.T, M.T, IPU, warmly greeted the new engineers in this period. He hopes that in the future the new engineers can reflect on the main purpose of the engineer title that they receive. “The most important thing is with that additional title, is there any difference? If there is none, why do you have to take that title? This must be answered,” Prof. Jamari remarked in his speech.
