Before entering campus life, new students must go through orientation activities or commonly called Introduction to Campus Life for New Students (PKKMB) first. This activity aims to introduce new students to the campus atmosphere, including facilities and infrastructure, friends, seniors, to lecturers and education staff. This year PKKMB is implemented in a hybrid manner, namely online/online and offline/face-to-face, although it is implemented in a hybrid manner, it does not reduce the essence of the PKKMB.

With the theme “Improving the Young Generation that is Critical, Creative, Active and Innovative”, the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas PGRI Palembang on Thursday, September 29, 2022, carried out PKKMB online/online through the Zoom application and offline/face-to-face, located in the H. M. Ali Latief Hall 3rd floor Building C, PGRI University Palembang. The activity was opened and led directly by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Amiwarti, S.T., M.T, who was also present at the event, the chairman of the committee as well as the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Aan Sefentry, S.T., M.T., Permanent Lecturer of the Foundation of the Faculty of Engineering, staff and all Educational Personnel of the Faculty of Engineering and the Executive Board Students (BEM FT), Student Advisory Council (DPM FT) and Study Program Student Association (HMS FT).

The event began with the accountability report of the chief executive of PKKMB Aan Sefentry, ST., MT. The report explains the objectives of the activities, principles of implementation, implementation methods, materials and presenters, participants and funding of the 2022 PKKMB.

Then the event continued with remarks by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Amiwarti, ST., M.T. In his speech, the Dean gave an explanation of the Vision, Mission and Organizational Structure of the Faculty of Engineering. “Thank you to all the academics of the Faculty of Engineering for their time and contribution so that this event can be carried out. The hope is for new students to always be diligent and enthusiastic in the learning process and hopefully in the future the Faculty of Engineering, PGRI Palembang University can produce graduates who have qualified skills and are able to compete with other universities in entering the world of work, “said Amiwarti, S.T., M.T closing his remarks. After giving a speech, the Dean also had the opportunity to introduce lecturers and all managers of the Academic Community of the Faculty of Engineering, as well as opening the PKKMB 2022 of the Faculty of Engineering.

Entering the next event, namely the delivery of material, acting as the first resource person Herri Purwanto, ST., M.T., IPM explained about Academic Regulations and Campus Ethics.

The final project is one of the requirements for a student to obtain a bachelor’s degree. The final project for undergraduate students is in the form of a thesis report written based on the reference to the Faculty of Engineering Thesis Writing Format. Although it has undergone several revisions, this format contains rules that can cover all study programs at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas PGRI Palembang. Lecturers as student supervisors in writing final assignments often experience difficulties regarding the similarity of perceptions of students’ final assignments, both between lecturers/supervisors and between lecturers and students. This problem arises because there is no more detailed synchronization both at the study program level and at the faculty level. The activity “Equalizing Perceptions for Lecturers on Writing Thesis” is one solution that can solve the problem of differences in perceptions in writing student final assignments at the study program level.

For this reason, the Faculty of Engineering, University of PGRI Palembang, on Saturday (10/09/2022) carried out the Perception Matching of Thesis Compilation Guidance at the Hall of the Faculty of Engineering, 2nd floor of Building D, Universitas PGRI Palembang.

The activity was opened and led directly by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Amiwarti, S.T., M.T. Also present at the event was the chairman of the committee as well as the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. Aan Sefentry, S.T., M.T and all Permanent Lecturers of the Faculty of Engineering Foundation. The event was opened with a report from the chief executive Aan Sefentry, S.T., M.T then continued with remarks from the dean of the engineering faculty.

In his speech Amiwarti, S.T., M.T said “This is the second time the engineering faculty has held this activity. As for the realization of the implementation of the equalization of thesis writing, only about 50%, there are still errors in the writing format. Therefore, lecturers have a very big role in directing and guiding students from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester, each lecturer must also have guidelines and perceptions that are aligned in terms of preparing thesis writing in accordance with the thesis writing guidelines owned by the Faculty of Engineering. During the presentation of the material, the participants can play an active role by providing suggestions or ideas.

Before the event continued with the presentation of material by the resource persons, the event was interspersed with giving souvenirs to Mr. Adiguna, S.T., M.Si as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering for the 2018-2022 term. The handover of souvenirs was carried out symbolically by Amiwarti, S.T., M.T as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering for the term of 2022-2027.

Entering the next event is the presentation of the material by the speakers. Moderated by Reffanda Kurniawan, S.T., M.M, the event to equalize the perception of thesis writing presented 4 (four) presenters, namely Amiwarti, S.T., M.T (Dean of the Faculty of Engineering) by explaining material about the Policy of the Faculty of Engineering, Emidiana, S.T., M.T (Head of Electrical Engineering Study Program) with material Thesis Writing Format, Herri Purwanto, S.T., M.T., IPM (Head of Civil Engineering Study Program) with material on Procedures and Requirements for Student Thesis Activities and Muhrinsyah Fatimura, S.T., M.T (Head of Chemical Engineering Study Program) with material on Citation, Format and Submit Journal.
