At a special moment of Indonesian independence, the academic community of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia (FTUI) managed to make achievements in the 2023 Outstanding UI Lecturer award. FTUI Professor from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Suryanegara, S.T., M.Sc., IPU won the Outstanding UI Lecturer Award in the Science and Technology Cluster 2023.
The process towards this achievement was achieved after a long selection, starting from filing, and document evaluation, to offline presentations with assessors. This award was then announced to coincide with the August 17, 2023 ceremony held at the University of Indonesia Rectorate building.
Prof. Surya at the award ceremony said, “I am personally very grateful to the Faculty of Engineering because the achievement of the Outstanding Lecturer award at the UI level is none other than because the ecosystem in FT is very supportive of every lecturer to be able to excel. A lecturer is not only assessed from the educational aspect, but also the tridharma which includes teaching, research, and community service. The existence of a very good support system in the FT environment is what helps lecturers to be able to implement these tridharma values.”
Prof. Surya also said that he is currently waiting for direction from UI regarding the National Outstanding Lecturer competition which will be held by the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI), where he will represent UI.
“I hope this award can become a good tradition that can inspire fellow lecturers at FTUI. So that in the future it will become a routine that FT can continue to send its representatives at the UI level to be an example for all lecturers at the University of Indonesia,” said Prof. Surya.
The Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU said, “We are very proud and congratulate Prof. Muhammad Suryanegara for the award of Outstanding UI Lecturer 2023. This achievement is the result of his extraordinary dedication and contribution to the world of education and research. Hopefully, this award will inspire the entire UI academic community to continue to produce achievements and innovations that benefit society and the nation.”
