Undergraduate Program in Electrical Power Engineering
The Electrical Power Engineering Study Program provides education in the fields of power generation, transmission, and utilization of electrical energy. This program offers students fundamental knowledge of electrical power engineering principles, along with supporting knowledge in mathematics, science, computing, and essential engineering skills. Students are given the opportunity to develop their ability to formulate, analyze, and solve complex problems and to design a product or system based on real-world issues, particularly in the field of electrical power engineering.
This program provides sufficient breadth and depth for undergraduate and postgraduate studies, equipping graduates for success, lifelong learning programs, and a solid foundation to actively contribute to the development of electrical power engineering and related industries in Indonesia and abroad. It also fosters an appreciation for the range of issues encountered in professional practice, including teamwork, leadership, safety, ethics, service, economics, environmental awareness, and professional organizations.
Developments in the field of electrical power engineering have advanced rapidly over the past few decades, driven in part by the increasing importance of electricity in modern life. It can be said that human activities are becoming inseparable from electrical power. However, on the other hand, primary energy sources are becoming more expensive, creating a need to develop technology that enables efficient conversion of primary energy into electricity.
As a result of increased efficiency, knowledge and technology in the field of electrical power engineering have also developed rapidly. Similarly, advancements in power electronics technology, particularly with the development of control components and hardware in power electronics, have spurred research and the development of more reliable and effective energy conservation concepts.
Meanwhile, in the management of electrical energy and the operation of current and future power systems, information and computer technology are increasingly evident and absolutely necessary. Modern power system operations require Real-Time Computers to assist operators in managing the electrical power system. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have become indispensable tools in large-scale power systems. The SCADA technology is currently developing rapidly, leading toward Automated Substations and Open System technologies. Hardware and software for SCADA systems, which were previously produced solely by Power System Equipment manufacturers, are now widely available from Software Houses and Remote Terminal Unit manufacturers based on Personal Computers. In this context, graduates working in the electrical power sector should be able to communicate effectively with computer engineering graduates.
This program provides students with foundational and essential knowledge in the field of electrical power engineering, along with the necessary understanding in mathematics, science, computing, and basic engineering principles.
Students are given the opportunity to develop their ability to formulate, analyze, and solve complex problems, as well as to design products or systems based on real-world issues, particularly in the field of electrical power engineering.
This program offers sufficient breadth and depth of knowledge for success in postgraduate, master’s, and doctoral studies. It also provides opportunities for lifelong learning and equips students with the fundamental skills needed to contribute to the development of electrical power engineering and related industries, both in Indonesia and internationally.
Moreover, the Electrical Power Engineering Study Program also fosters an appreciation for the issues that arise in professional practice, including teamwork, leadership, safety, ethics, service, economics, environmental awareness, and professional organizations.
