"PSPPI is the government's mandate to universities to help accelerate the creation of Indonesian engineers who are independent, responsible, and have professional ethics and qualifications according to certification standards," Dr. Ir. Ida Bagus Putu Adnyana, ST, MT, IPU.

"To support the implementation of Law no. 11 of 2014, the Graduate Professional Engineer Program (PPI) of Udayana University opened the Professional Engineer Program (PPI) for Recognition of Past Learning (RPL) and Regular. The Recognition Path of Past Learning (RPL) is a formal education program that uses work experience as the basis for continuing education for equality with certain qualifications. he added.

Ngakan Ketut Acwin Dwijendra, ST, SDs, MA, IPU, ASEAN Eng. added "According to PII data, currently there are around 1 million Engineers in Indonesia. Of that number, only less than 10% are professional engineers or have competency certificates. Meanwhile, in order to face the era of global industrialization and the Asean Economic Community (MEA) ), the government continues to boost infrastructure development so that the need for professional Engineers becomes increasingly urgent. Law No. 11 of 2014 in the future requires all Bachelors who work in the engineering field to have an Engineer Registration Certificate (STRI). must graduate from the Professional Engineer Program organized by universities in collaboration with relevant ministries and PII,"

In his presentation, he alluded to the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII), whose duties include managing engineer certification, mapping human resources, and conducting competency training for engineers throughout Indonesia. “Seeing that the role of Indonesian engineers has gone global and if they have joined PII, the engineers will be on par with engineers in ASEAN. So the treatment of work, the standard of payment, the standard of work will certainly be the same. Therefore, here PII's role is to manage engineering certification,"

After students of the Professional Engineer Study Program (PSPPI) have successfully completed the RPL Program, the next stage of the process is to prepare a professional certification process for students. To get a professional engineer certification from PII (IPP, IPM, or IPU) all students must fill out the Professional Engineer Application Form (FAIP).

When filling out, you will feel bored, but when you write, you will understand and have be more confident in your field of work. With a good understanding, it will become a knowledge management instrument for our work in the future, "said Dr. Ir. Ngakan Ketut Acwin Dwijendra, ST, SDs, MA, IPU, ASEAN Eng.
