What's happening in PresUniv
As a form of support for the Independent Campus program, President University always aligns its curriculum with the current industry needs and trends. This action was taken so that graduates will have soft skills and hard skills that are compatible and appropriate for their future careers. This effort is realized by presenting the Emotional Intelligence course that is compulsory for all students. Emotional intelligence itself is the ability or capacity of a person to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of oneself, others, and their surroundings.
In its application, Mechanical Engineering Study Program at President University held a webinar with the theme "Building Key Soft Skill Competencies to Succeed as a Mechanical Engineers" on Monday, September 28, 2020. The materials in this webinar were delivered by Lydia Anggraini, Head of Mechanical Engineering, and Yuzhar Bastian, Procurement Manager at PT. Halliburton.
Lydia Anggraini explained that the purpose of holding this webinar is as a platform for students' exploration of the study program they are taking, including the vision, mission, goals, and desired results. "If you choose this academic program, there are many soft-skill competencies that are needed by the industry. These soft-skill competencies will support the students’ goals in their professional career," she said. Furthermore, Yuzhar Bastian outlined five basic soft skills that must be possessed in an engineering career, namely planning, communication skills, self-confidence, presentation skills, and networking.
Through understanding this subject based on the values and characteristics of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program, students are expected to have soft skills that match the figure of President University Mechanical Engineering graduates. (PT/SD)
