UM Jakarta (UMJ) Senate inaugurated two professors in Engineering, namely Prof Budiyanto and Prof Tri Yuni Hendrawati, on the 4th floor of the Faculty of Economics and Business Auditorium, Tuesday (23/11). The inauguration increased the professor number to 14. The procession was attended by the Deputy Chair of Muhammadiyah for Higher Education, Research, and Development (CHERD), Prof Chairil Anwar; the Chairman of Muhammadiyah Province Board of Jakarta, Sun’an Miskan, Lc; the General Secretary of Muhammadiyah Central Board, Prof Abdul Mu’thi; and the Head of Institute for Higher Education Service (LLDIKTI) Regional III, Prof Agus Setyo Budi; and all Faculties leader in academic civitas of UMJ.
Two professors inaugurated were UMJ alumni and cadres. “Undoubtedly it is special chance for Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta,” the Rector of UMJ, Dr Ma’mun Murod, said. It created an optimism to UMJ for producing professors from their own alumni ahead. “The two professors will be a positive trigger to the other lecturers for being a professor. I expect that in the following year, the other faculties will follow,” he said.
Accordingly, Prof Budiyanto, in his speech entitled “The Muhammadiyah Higher Education Institutions potency on the Renewal Energy Research on The Sustainable Development Goals achievement in Indonesia”, revealed that this procession was a prideful achievement for himself, his families, and UMJ in general, especially for the Faculty of Engineering. It was because of an exceptional opportunity to be a Professor from Electrical Engineering study programs from the alumnus who devoted 21 years. He expected that the inauguration was a new milestone that would benefit all academic civitas in the Faculty of Engineering of UM Jakarta.
Meanwhile, for Prof Tri Yuni Hendrawati, her journey in teaching, research, and services in the community were integral to Islamic and Muhammadiyah values that are complete in her journey to be a professor. “To be a professor in Muhammadiyah was a trust to disseminate the real positive impacts for the society,” she said. Prof Tri Yuni Hendrawati delivered her inaugural speech entitled “Agroindustrial Process Engineering in Chemical Engineering to Elevate Natural Resource Values in 5.0 Society Era”.
