FST UIN Maliki Malang - (14/10/2025) The Electrical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, closed a series of seminars on curriculum strengthening and scientific development held in stages on September 26, October 3, and October 10, 2025. This agenda is designed to ensure that the curriculum is increasingly aligned with industry needs, accreditation standards, and OBE learning outcomes (Outcomes-Based Education) while strengthening the competencies of lecturers and students.

The first session on September 26, 2025 raised the theme "Alignment of Electrical Engineering Curriculum with Engineering LAM Criteria Standards." The resource person Dr. Ir. Widjonarko, S.T., M.T., IPU, ASEAN Eng. (Electrical Engineering University of Jember; member of FORTEI) emphasized the urgency of adjusting the curriculum with national accreditation criteria to ensure the quality of graduates and improve readiness to face the world of work. This assertion became the basis for internal evaluation, especially on course mapping, SLOs, and evidence of achievement.

Continuing on October 3, 2025, the second seminar was entitled "Capstone Project Integration Strategy in OBE-Based Electrical Engineering Curriculum." Dr. Devy Kuswidiastuti, S.T., M.Sc. (Electrical Engineering ITS; FORTEI Curriculum Division) shared the Capstone Project design strategy as an output-based learning vehicle encouraging students to formulate innovative solutions to real problems in the field, strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration, and integrate authentic assessment into the learning process.

On October 10, 2025, two seminars were held in one day. At 09.00 WIB, Dhadang SBW, S.ST. (CEO of ROV Indonesia) explained "The Development of the Robotics Industry and ROV Competitions in Indonesia." This session outlined the dynamics of the national robotics ecosystem, opportunities for involvement of Electrical Engineering students, and a map of ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) competitions that are relevant for strengthening portfolios and professional networks. Continued at 13.00 WIB, the seminar "The Role of Electronic Engineering in Optimizing the Power Plant System" presented Firza Zulmi Rhamadhan, S.T., M.T. (Engineer PLN Nusantara Power). The material highlighted the contribution of electronic engineering in increasing power plant efficiency, as well as the importance of academic-practitioner partnerships to produce impactful technological solutions.

Through this series of seminars, the Electrical Engineering Study Program of FST UIN Maliki affirms its commitment to developing a curriculum that is adaptive, applicable, and measurable: based on LAM Engineering standards, integrated with OBE and Capstone Project, and sensitive to the development of robotics and electricity needs. Close collaboration between campus and industry is expected to encourage the quality of learning, enrich research and practice experiences, and produce graduates who are superior, relevant, and ready to compete in the world of work.
