During the event, UPT SPMB provided a general overview and information about the D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program and the D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication Study Program. This event also served as a step in introducing the two new programs in line with the timeline for new student admissions in 2024.

The session was moderated by Azriela Kesia Agusta Putri, a Business Management student from the SV 2022 program, and featured presentations by the Head of the D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program, Dr. Hammar Ilham Akbar, S.Pd., M.T., and the Head of the D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication Study Program, Kristina Indah S.R, B.Ed., M.TCSOL.

D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program

The Head of the D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program, Dr. Hammar Ilham Akbar, S.Pd., M.T., explained that the introduction of this new program aims to upgrade the curriculum to keep pace with the times and market needs. Through this program, students will be equipped with comprehensive competencies in manufacturing technology. Dr. Hammar also explained that the D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program has been accredited by the Technical Education Accreditation Board (LAM Teknik).

“The D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program covers fundamentals similar to those in mechanical engineering programs in the first and second semesters, but we emphasize that students understand the manufacturing process. For example, creating innovations that can add value to a product,” Dr. Hammar said.

He added that UNS is one of the universities equipped with industry-standard 3D scanning equipment. “We also have industry-standard CNC milling machines, so graduating students need not worry because the equipment in our laboratories is comparable to those in the industry,” he added.

Dr. Hammar further explained that the D4 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Study Program teaches the basics of machinery, including how to design, calculate, operate, and control the quality of manufacturing processes. Thus, students become proficient in the entire manufacturing process, from start to finish. Students also receive national and international certifications that can be beneficial in the future.

“We have collaborated with national and international industrial companies. Hence, there are ample opportunities for careers both domestically and internationally because many of our alumni have been accepted there. The program also plans for three semesters of internships so that students have portfolios and experience upon graduation,” Dr. Hammar added.

D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication

The D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication Study Program is an upgrade from the D3 Mandarin Language Program. This enhancement aims to increase the value and competency of its graduates, focusing on business and industry.

Kristina Indah S.R, B.Ed., M.TCSOL, the Head of the D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication Program, explained that the program focuses 70% on direct practice through industrial lectures or internships, making it significantly different from the Literature Study Program.

“Students will be equipped with Mandarin for daily communication, which will then be developed for business and industrial communication. Industrial internships are also provided to develop language skills and terminology directly in the industrial world. Students also acquire translation skills according to standards, as well as administrative skills in both Indonesian and Mandarin. Therefore, graduates of this program can fill various positions in companies,” Kristina explained.

She added that the D4 Mandarin Language for Business and Professional Communication Study Program has collaborated with many Chinese and Taiwanese foreign investment companies, providing significant opportunities for graduates to pursue careers in those companies.

She also mentioned that the program has been accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT). Humas UNS

The ceremony was opened with a remark from the Chairman of the Board of Professors UNS, Prof. Drs. Suranto Tjiptowibisono, M.Sc., Ph.D., explained that retirement is an appreciation for a professor after completing their services, marked with a scientific speech. Prof. Suranto also praised both professors’ health in entering their retirement, stating that it is a sign of new light left for their juniors.

Representing the Rector of UNS, Prof. Dr. Bandi M.Si., Ak., as the Vice-Rector for Management and Human Resources Affairs, congratulated and thanked the professors in his remark for their dedication, loyalty, examples, and services for UNS. As a commitment and appreciation for their services, UNS also invited both professors to continue sharing their knowledge as professor emeritus in FKIP. “Hopefully, their presence as senior faculty members could assist UNS in achieving its dream as a world-class university,” Prof. Bandi stated.

The first speech in the ceremony was delivered by Prof. Widha Sunarno on “An Interesting, Challenging, and Exciting Natural Science Learning (Physics) (PF3M),” which visualizes the abstract physics concept in computer-based animation. “In PF3M, the learning process refers to the constructivist approach. Students shape their knowledge in their heads, acquire new knowledge, learning not remembering, and could apply abstract concepts into concrete technology,” Prof. Widha Sunarno explained.

On the same occasion, Prof. Suyitno delivered a scientific speech on “Text Reproduction and Ideology: Literature Studies” and explained that the receptive and productive subjects in literature studies are never completed nor unstructured. The truth in literature always continues and reflects the reality that needs to be read repeatedly, just like text, because it is continuously updated and increasingly complex. The receptive and productive subject in literature must be aware that literary texts result from continuous dialog from the creator’s creativity in responding to a phenomenon. Therefore, analyzing compound subjects in literature texts should be liberating and eliminate the possibilities of perfection from one text to another.

“In the future, literature works will be full of surprises, and it is just the written ones; there will be digital literature, and other types (of literature),” Prof. Suyitno stated.

The scientific speech was followed by the handover of the symbolic relay baton from Prof. Dr. Widha Sunarno, M.Pd. to Dr. Sarwanto, M.Pd., M.Si. and from Prof. Dr. Suyitno, M.Pd. to Dr. Edy Suryanto, M.Pd. Humas UNS

The Rector of UNS, Prof. Dr. Jamal Wiwoho, SH, M.Hum., acknowledged that the title of Professor could be awarded in two schemes, through an academic scheme designed for lecturers and to any person from the nonacademic circles with extraordinary competence. The first scheme is the title of Professor according to the Permendikbud No. 92 of 2014 concerning Technical Guidelines for the Implementation of Credit Numbers Assessment of Lecturer Functional Appointment in which the prospective Professor has a profession as a lecturer.
Meanwhile, the second scheme provided for any person from nonacademic circles with exceptional competence is regulated in Regulation of the Minister of Education, Research, and Technology No. 38 of 2021 concerning the Appointment of Honorary Professors at Universities. According to this second scheme, Prof. (UNS) Dr. Soeprayitno, M.M., finally obtained the title of Honorary Professor at UNS.

In his remark, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho said that there were severe consequences when someone is bestowed a Professor title. “Holding the title as a Professor, in fact, has severe consequences because a professor is required to have the ability to build bridges that connect the scientific discipline to society development, national development, and even the birth of new civilizations. Henceforth, the inauguration of new professors must strengthen UNS’s academic reputation, both at the national and international levels,” said Prof. Jamal.

Further, Prof. Jamal confirms that he believes in Prof. (UNS) Dr. Soeprayitno, M.M., academic network, connection, and experience. Provided through his daily duties, he understands the ins and outs of the Indonesian labor condition, which will be more productive in mobilizing his intellectual potential. Moreover, the alumnus of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UNS since 2007 has an undoubted track record and contribution, according to Prof. Jamal, especially in assisting the strengthening and development of human resources at UNS. He has contributed to formulating the ‘ACTIVE’ UNS work culture and providing various capacity-building training, both for leaders and UNS academic support staff.

Prof. Jamal also said that using research and innovation work as Professors’ peer lifestyle is not wrong. “Making research and innovation work as Professors’ peer lifestyle is not wrong. Since after being bestowed with the Professor title, you must be more productive and aggressive in providing scientific work that is solemnly based on research and innovation. Moving together with the concept of a synergy-collaborative approach among scientific disciplines is a new way of working for lecturers to deal with life complexities in a rapid transformation era. Realizing the future of Human Resources with competitive nature is not enough only by relying on a monodisciplinary approach, but requires synergy and collaboration in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary manner,” said Prof. Jamal.

At the end of his speech, Prof. Jamal hopes that Prof. (UNS) Dr. Soeprayitno, M.M., will always be blessed in the novelty of ideas, clarity of mind, and originality of ideas for the greater development of UNS.

Since the end of 2011, Prof. (UNS). Dr. Soeprayitno, M.M., has decided to become an entrepreneur in three fields at once, mining services, medical devices, and consultants, aside from his duties as the Director of PT. Apindo Study Center (Apindo Training Center).

He also actively shares his experiences as a public speaker, resource person, and mentor in several SOEs and private companies and teaches at several universities, including UNS and Trisakti University Jakarta.

Following the UNS Rector Decree (SK) Number: 290/ UN27/KP/ 2022, Prof. (UNS). Dr. Soeprayitno, M.M., was appointed as Honorary Professor in the field of Human Resources Management Sciences, starting from March 1, 2022, to February 28, 2025, and can be reappointed for the following period according to the applicable regulations.
