Furthermore, Prof. Agung hopes that these engineers must have empathy and sympathy for the surrounding community. “Next we have to empathize and sympathize with the environment. So this is one of our duties as engineers that later empathy and sympathy must be considered, so we must carry this out well and professionally in the field,” he explained.
With the selection of the Faculty of Engineering UNDIP as a Corruption-Free Regional Integrity Zone (ZI-WBK) by the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), it requires engineers to have integrity and become role models and agents of change in improving the quality of services to the community.
“So I hope that you really have integrity, become a role model in the field, be an example in the field and finally be able to move this nation to jointly improve the quality of its services to the community. So we entrust the mandate from this WBK to all of you. Please be able to be maintained because to become a WBK currently in Indonesia there are only 5 universities,” explained Prof. Agung.
Meanwhile, Prof. Agung added that recently infrastructure development in Indonesia is indeed being intensively implemented. With the state cost budget for the construction of nearly 400 Trillion and the needs of engineers newly met at 40% of the total needs of Engineers of 260 thousand, it becomes a great challenge and responsibility for Engineers. “It is the responsibility of all of us who will be able to practice Engineers and we must continue to be excited,” he concluded.
