(16/9) Seven students from the International Undergraduate Program (IUP) of the Department of URP Undip successfully gained the opportunity to undergo an internship at Technische Universität München (TUM). The departure ceremony was held in the Dekanat Building of the Faculty of Engineering.
The departure of these seven IUP students is the result of a long-standing cooperation between the Faculty of Engineering Undip and Technische Universität München. TUM itself is one of the most prestigious universities in Germany, where this university has been ranked 49th in the world and ranked 20th in the world for Engineering category according to QS World Ranking. Through the IUP program, the Faculty of Engineering Undip is eager to facilitate its students to able to experience international studies at prestigious universities around the world.
It is planned that these seven IUP students from the class of 2020 will start their internship in the laboratory under the Chair of Land Management TUM for two months. They will be planned to start their internship program from 1 July 2023 to 31 August 2023.
Aulia Putri Sugiharto, one of the IUP students who went to TUM, said that this program is a form of international exposure that they are obliged to take as part of the International Program. For her, with this international exposure, she can gain a broader understanding of the topics she is currently studying.” Through this internship in Germany, we will learn the best practices related to international cases so that there is a further understanding with new perspectives later,” said Aulia.
Jihan Faisa Fitriana Wahyudi, another IUP student said that she was happy and grateful to get an internship opportunity at TUM. She hopes that she can gain new knowledge from Germany. “I still can’t believe that I can get an internship at TUM. Hopefully, I will get new knowledge,” she said.
Jihan encouraged other IUP students from the Department of URP to courageously try the international exposure opportunities provided. As one of the leading campuses in Indonesia, IUP of the Department of URP Undip provides a lot of opportunities to go abroad for its students. “Don’t be afraid to try. In IUP the opportunities to go abroad are abundant,” said the IUP student from the class of 2020.

(15/6) The event “SDG Talks Goes to Semarang” was hosted in the Engineering Hall, Dekanat Building 5th Floor. This event is the result of collaboration between the Ministry of Finance, Universitas Diponegoro, SDG Center Undip, and UNDP Indonesia, and aims to introduce the importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation in Indonesia. This event was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Finance, UNDP Indonesia, Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Labour, Urban Initiatives for Climate Change (IKUPI), Regional Government of Jawa Tengah and Semarang City, as well as the participants from students and NGOs.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the global development agendas that consist of seventeen (17) goals to solve global problems such as poverty, planetary crises, and education. In SDG Talks Goes to Semarang, the main theme was “Financing the SDG’s Decade of Action”. This theme was chosen as an effort to build awareness about the importance of financing and maximum resource mobilization to prepare Indonesia in achieving the SDGs in the Decade of Action which is targeted to be fulfilled in 2030.
According to the Director of Indonesia Government Securities, Ministry of Finance, Deni Ridwan, the effort of the Indonesian government to meet the SDG targets has been constrained by the COVID-19 Pandemic. In fact, Indonesia is still quite behind other countries in achieving the SDGs. Therefore, to pursue this gap, the government needs to adjust its resources to synergize in achieving the SDGs. “Indonesia has the tools and resources in achieving the SDGs. The problem is, how to harmonize these tools and resources to fulfill the SDGs target,” he said.
National Project Manager for Assist Joint Program UNDP Indonesia, Nila Murti, also expressed the same thing. According to her, the Government of Indonesia has shown its commitment to implementing the SDGs. She reminded us that the Government of Indonesia must hurry in achieving the SDGs because Indonesia will be entering the Decade of Actions. “We have entered the Decade of Actions, we have entered the last 10 years. We must hurry now,” she said.
This event was divided into two main sessions. The first session was filled with presentations from the Coordinator of Partnership and Institutional Strengthening of SDG Center Undip, Prof. Dr. -Ing. Wiwandari Handayani, ST, MT, MPS and the Manager of Social Development Pillar of the National Secretary of SDGs Indonesia, Dr. Sanjoyo, M.Sc, S.T, M.T, MPS. The next session was a discussion session that was attended by Putu Surya Dhana from the Ministry of Agriculture, Gilang Amaldi, B.Eng, M.M from the Ministry of Labour, and Mega Anggraeni, S.T, M.Si from IKUPI.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Ir. M. Agung Wibowo, M.M, M.Sc, Ph.D, welcomed this event. For him, this event was in line with the implementation of the Threefold Missions of Higher Education (Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi) because it provides education related to SDGs for the participants, especially for the students, so that later they can be well prepared in the professional world. “This event was held so that all students can understand quickly so that later when they entered the professional world they will not be too ‘confused’ with the SDGs topics,” he said.
(14/6) The Faculty of Engineering Undip was visited by Curtin University. The visitation event took place in the Senate Room, Dekanat Building 3rd Floor. At this event, the Deputy Dean of Research and Development and Director of Curtin Malaysia Graduate School, Prof. Agus Saptoro, was present with Ms. Patricia Kelly from Global Curtin as the representative from Curtin University.
This visit is a follow-up to the previous cooperation initiatives that had been successfully held between the Faculty of Engineering Undip and Curtin University. Besides, the International Office team of the Faculty of Engineering, the heads of the study programs, and the International Undergraduate Program (IUP) students were also invited to listen to the presentation of a new mobility scheme offered by Curtin University to the Faculty of Engineering, two of which are Double Degree program and International Credit Transfer.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Ir. M. Agung Wibowo, M.M, M.Sc, Ph.D, welcomed the visit from Curtin University this time. According to him, the visit from the Faculty of Engineering’s overseas partners is a good moment for students to prepare themselves to study at one of the best universities in Australia. For him, the International Undergraduate Program students can fulfill their obligation to get international exposure at Curtin University. “For the IUP students, it is mandatory to get international exposure. If there is an opportunity to study at Curtin, seize it,” he said.
Vice Dean of Academic and Students Affairs, Prof. Dr.nat.tech Siswo Sumardiono, S.T, M.T together with Prof. Agus Saptoro from Curtin University discussing with the invitees
Up to now, the Faculty of Engineering has collaborated with Curtin University in several fields, including research and education. This can be seen from the success of the Double Degree program held by the Department of URP and the Department of Chemical Engineering together with Curtin University. During this visit, Prof. Agung also hoped that wider collaboration opportunities could be realized in the future. “Hopefully in the future, we can do other collaborations, such as capacity building for the lecturer and staff as well as other Double Degree and Credit Transfer Systems with other departments,” he said.
The representative from Curtin University, Prof. Agus Saptoro, also thanked the Faculty of Engineering Undip. According to him, Undip is one of Curtin University’s strategic partners in the Southeast Asia Region. As a strategic partner, it is appropriate for Curtin University to keep the relationship that has been created by conducting follow-ups to check how far the collaboration that has been agreed upon is running. He hoped the collaboration between Curtin University and the Faculty of Engineering can run well. “Let us change the competitions into collaborations,” he said.
