The collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering (FTUI) Universitas Indonesia (UI) continues to expand. This time, FTUI collaborated with PT Superintending Company of Indonesia (Sucofindo). This cooperation was marked by the signing of a cooperation agreement by the Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU, and the Director of Human Resources of PT Sucofindo, J. Nanang Marjianto. The signing took place on Monday (17/7), coinciding with the 59th anniversary of FTUI.
Prof. Heri revealed that this cooperation is one of the efforts to develop the quality of Human Resources (HR) and strengthen the link between the industrial and academic worlds. “I believe that this educational cooperation agreement will have a significant positive impact on both parties. This is a step forward in strengthening the quality of education, improving the competence of Sucofindo’s employees, and creating a mutually beneficial relationship between FTUI and Sucofindo,” said Prof. Heri.
In line with FTUI’s mission to produce highly intellectual and globally competitive engineering graduates, through this collaboration, PT Sucofindo employees will have the opportunity to continue their education at FTUI up to Master’s level. As a start of the collaboration, two PT Sucofindo employees, namely Zia Ru’yadi Hilal and Bayu Sukma, will receive scholarships for postgraduate education at FTUI with full funding from PT Sucofindo. Both are enrolled as Masters students of Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, FTUI.
In this regard, J. Nanang Marjianto said, “This is a valuable opportunity for them to expand their knowledge and develop specialized expertise. They can deepen their understanding in areas relevant to their industry”.
Going forward, this collaboration will strengthen the link between FTUI and Sucofindo. This will allow for the exchange of relevant knowledge and information, as well as the development of future research collaborations and joint projects. It is hoped that this collaboration can become a successful example of university-industry cooperation in supporting the development of quality human resources that can meet the needs of the industry.
