FT students get a lot of important provisions in PKKMB.
Unesa. ac.id, SURABAYA—Higher education is currently at a critical crossroads in facing the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0. This was conveyed by I Kadek Dwi Nuryana, lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering (FT) Surabaya State University (UNESA) in the Introduction to Campus Life for New Students (PKKMB) FT, on Tuesday, August 20 2024.
According to him, higher education required to transform in line with rapid technological developments. Digitalization of learning, curriculum changes, and developing lecturer competencies are the main challenges that must be faced to ensure that graduates are able to compete at the global level.
Kadek emphasized that the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era opens up great opportunities for higher education, such as personalization of learning, global collaboration, and innovation in the curriculum, as well as increasing access to education through technology. However, he also emphasized that all these changes will only be successful if students take an active role in the process.
"Students are the main driving force in facing this era. They must develop 21st century skills which include critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and digital literacy. These skills are not only important in the academic environment, but also in an increasingly competitive and dynamic world of work," he explained.
Yunus as FT's student affairs advisor focuses on fostering awareness of defending the country. Apart from love of the homeland, national and state awareness and strong commitment are also needed to strengthen state sovereignty. Students not only excel academically, but also have a strong national insight.
Yunus also explained that the understanding of Pancasila as the basis of the state must be understood by every student as the basis of state life. Pancasila is not just an ideology, but also the foundation that regulates state administration.
"Without a strong state foundation, a country will not have clear direction and goals, so it will easily experience chaos," he explained.
In higher education, he underlined that the profile of Pancasila students , especially students, must reflect Pancasila values. As future leaders, students must have good managerial and leadership skills.
The Surabaya-born lecturer also reminded that students must have an important role as agents of change in fostering national and state awareness. As the next generation, students must be active in maintaining and advancing national values and making a real contribution to nation building.
As chairman of the committee, Nugraha Prasetya D said that in the series of PKKMB events, new students get the opportunity to be more active in interacting and adapting to the engineering faculty environment, starting from lecturers, seniors, or with student organizations in the faculty Engineering can later become a forum for new students of the Faculty of Engineering to discover their identity and explore potential according to new students' interests and talents.
Apart from that, they also take part in various workshop and seminar sessions that discuss important topics related to the world of engineering, self-development, to prepare new students who have professional ethics and their role as part of the UNESA academic community.
With this activity, it is hoped that new students will be better prepared to face academic and social challenges during their studies at the faculty and also in the future.
