Movie Gathering Event

As part of introduction on the scope and area for the New Industrial Engineering Students, SEMS Lab assistant coordinates a movie gathering event (Nonton Bareng – NoBar) in the Undergraduate Student Center  of our laboratory building. The event will play DVDs of a television series “Ultimate Factories” from the National Geographic Channel, which started with the state of the art Ferrari Factory.

The event was opened by Bu Anna, Vice Head of Department and Introduced by Pak Akhmad, Head of SEMS Lab. Bu Anna reminds the students that they need to be able to explain the role of Industrial Engineers to other engineering students in particular, and all students in general. She hoped that by watching this series together, they can catch a glimpse on the complexity of their roles as industrial engineers in the future.

Pak Akhmad also introduce the events by asking the audience to ask themselves “how can I design and built a factory like that”. This question is important to generate curiosity and understanding of how subjects in their curriculum are related. He also reminds the students that even though manufacturing is a key aspect that they must master as Industrial Engineers, they must also master another key aspect as “UI” Industrial Engineers which is the service operations.

Gadjah Mada University Visit

The curriculum team from Industrial Engineering Program of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) has visit Industrial Engineering to have brainstorming on the curriculum of IE. The visits includes lab visits of Human Factors Laboratory’s: Ergonomic Center and SEMS Lab. The discussion was very alive, due to the facts that IE at UGM was officially established at the same time with IE at UI. We are talking about IE as department, not as a program, since in UI as a study program IE  already exist since 1978. We also expressed our deepest sympathy to the Mount Merapi Eruption victims

Old Pictures: IEUI moving to the new building in 2000

 

Mr. Akhmad, our head of lab, while moving to the new lecturers office complex at the 2nd floor of our Laboratory building had found some old pictures of the moving process of our department office to the new administration building, back in 2000.

Do you know that our department office has moved 3 times? Even some of our older alumni are already envy of our current students with so many facilities that they now can enjoy, which includes state of the art ergonomic center at human factor laboratory, SEMS lab, computer center, reading corner, 2 students center for undergraduate and postgraduate program and other facilities.

When IEUI born in 1998,our first office is located in the 2nd floor of the Mechanical Engineering Department’s Administration building. It just comprise of 2 tables for the head of department: Mr. Dachyar plus Mr Akhmad as 1st Department Secretary, and also some cabinets. Our first lab, Industrial Engineering and Management Lab, also located in the 2nd floor, next to the office. Lecturers offices are still group together with MEUI lecturers.

Our 2nd office, are located at the currently PAF service area (Faculty Academic Office) (of course before the renovation). At that time the area is still even do not have proper access road leading to our office. Previously, it was used for finances office, so the whole area windows is surrounded by iron bar so tight that even if you release a bird inside, it cannot fly out. We even joke that we are the actually industrial biology department, since we are working in a “birdcage”.

SEMS 2010 Assistant Development Program (SEMS-ADP)

Entering the 2nd stage of the ADP program for enhancing the capability of our Assistant, we focus on developing their interpersonal skills. This session is started this week by introduction of interpersonal skills and intrapersonal skills.

To highlight the importance of developing the ability of reading body language, we all watch the “lie to me” pilot series together. Lie to Me is a TV series that surround team of body language experts. Even-though a little bit exaggerated,  the series is an eye opener for all the student, on how important is to at least have the basic skills of reading body language
