A total of 69 new students of the Animal Science Professional Engineering Program for the Odd Semester of the Academic Year 2022/2023 participated in the new student admission event held in a hybrid manner at the ASLC Building, Faculty of Animal Science, UGM (25/2). The new engineering students consist of 57 students from the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) scheme and 12 students from the regular scheme.
Dean Faculty of Animal Science UGM, Prof. Ir. Budi Guntoro, S.Pt., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPU., ASEAN Eng., emphasized the importance of professional engineers in the biological sector, especially in animal science, in his speech. “Animal science engineers are part of the human resources managing biological resources. Engineers today are not only involved in the management of physical resources such as infrastructure development but also in the management of biological resources,” said Prof. Budi Guntoro.
In addition to the new student admission, the event continued with a Professional Engineer Certification Workshop where students learned about the requirements for obtaining the Professional Engineer (Ir.) title and how to fill out the registration form to become a professional engineer. This was followed by lectures on UGM and Pancasila (Five Principles) values as the foundation for becoming students of UGM, which were also attended by new students of the master’s and doctoral programs. It is expected that students who are part of UGM, which is a Pancasila university, can practice these noble values in their daily lives, including in their pursuit of knowledge. (Prisil/Secretariat)
