Leadership Education Program 2026 : Mahathir Muhammad Tekankan Kepemimpinan Dimulai dari Kemampuan Memimpin Diri Sendiri

By Admin EducationPosted on Posted in COE Education

Bandar Lampung – True leadership is not determined by a title or formal position, but rather by a person’s ability to exercise self-control, set an example, inspire others, and bring about positive change. This message was conveyed by the Vice Rector of the University of Teknokrat Indonesia, Dr. H. Mahathir Muhammad, S.E., M.M., while serving as a guest speaker in the University of Teknokrat Indonesia’s 2026 Leadership Education Program (LEP) series on Friday, August 7, 2026. During the orientation session attended by hundreds of students, Mahathir encouraged participants to understand leadership from its most fundamental foundation: self-leadership. According to him, a person cannot effectively lead others if they are not yet able to manage their own attitudes, actions, emotions, and personal responsibilities. Leadership Is More Than Just a Title Mahathir explained that a good leader is not merely an individual who holds a certain position or possesses specific authority. More than that, a leader must possess the personal capacity to exert a positive influence on their surroundings. An ideal leader, he said, must be able to set an example, share a common vision, inspire others, empower team members, uphold honesty, possess competence, and have the courage to bring about change. “A leader is not just someone who holds a title. A leader is someone who is able to set an example, share a common vision, inspire and empower others, and possess the integrity and competence to bring about change,” said Mahathir. Leadership Starts with Yourself In his presentation, Mahathir identified self-control as the cornerstone of building a leader’s character. According to him, leadership must begin within oneself before one attempts to guide or lead a larger group. Self-control serves as the foundation for developing a responsible and consistent attitude, as well as the ability to handle various situations. “Being a leader means having the courage to take control of oneself, taking responsibility for one’s actions, maintaining a positive attitude, having the courage to admit mistakes, learning from those mistakes, and giving recognition to others when they truly deserve it,” he said. Mahathir believes that the courage to admit mistakes is not a sign of weakness in a leader. On the contrary, it is part of leadership maturity because it demonstrates a willingness to learn and improve. Leaders Cannot Work Alone In addition to personal abilities, Mahathir emphasized the importance of the ability to build relationships and collaborate within an organization. According to him, no leader can achieve an organization’s goals alone. Every achievement requires the contribution of team members, each with their own competencies, roles, and responsibilities. “The success of an organization relies heavily on group synergy. A leader must be able to build a team, harness the potential of each member, and create an environment that allows everyone to contribute,” he explained. Building a Strong Team Mahathir explained that a solid team requires several key elements. These include a shared goal understood by all members, a clear division of tasks and responsibilities, effective communication, sound decision-making mechanisms, and positive personal relationships. These conditions will foster a healthy organizational environment while encouraging each member to contribute to the fullest extent possible. In the context of student organizations, the ability to build a team becomes even more important because students will encounter a diverse range of personalities, perspectives, and backgrounds. Therefore, leadership must be built through communication, trust, empathy, and the ability to value each member’s contributions. Tiered Leadership Toward Impact Mahathir emphasized that the process of becoming a leader does not happen overnight. Leadership is a gradual process that begins with a commitment to oneself, then develops into the ability to influence and inspire others, and ultimately leads to building a team capable of achieving shared goals. “Leadership isn’t just about leading others; it begins with the ability to lead oneself. Once we are able to lead ourselves, we learn to influence and inspire others, and then build a solid team to achieve common goals,” he concluded. LEP 2026: Shaping Young Leaders of Character The material presented by Mahathir was part of the Leadership Education Program 2026 (LEP 2026) organized by the Indonesian Technocrat University as an effort to build students’ leadership capacity. The program is designed not only to improve managerial skills but also to foster character, integrity, communication skills, teamwork, decision-making, and the courage of students to become agents of change. Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia believes that strengthening students’ leadership capacity is a crucial part of preparing the younger generation to face the dynamics of the workplace, society, and global challenges. Aligned with the SDGs Agenda The development of character and leadership competencies through LEP 2026 also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education. This program broadens the meaning of education by focusing not only on academic abilities but also on building skills, character, communication, leadership, and the ability to collaborate. This initiative is also relevant to SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, as leadership, team-building skills, communication, and responsibility are essential competencies needed by the younger generation to enter the professional world and contribute productively. Furthermore, fostering young leaders of integrity who can build effective organizations supports SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions by reinforcing the values of accountability, transparency, integrity, and decision-making oriented toward the common good. Through the 2026 Leadership Education Program, Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia continues to strengthen its commitment to nurturing a young generation that is not only academically excellent but also capable of leading themselves, inspiring others, fostering collaboration, and creating a positive impact on society and the nation.

“LANGUAGE EMERGENCY” BY DR AFRIANTO, SS M.HUM

By Indigenous LanguagePosted on Posted in COE Indigenous Language

Bandar Lampung, – “Prioritize the Indonesian language, preserve regional languages, and master foreign languages”. This slogan colors the linguistic treasures in the archipelago. However, have you thought about the extent to which local languages ​​are preserved? Forgotten, abandoned, until finally extinct. Lampung has a language (known as Lampung language) which is divided into two main dialects (api and nyow). Each dialect has different characteristics, various sub-dialects and has a writing system in the form of letters. This shows that the Lampung language is rich in linguistic elements when viewed linguistically. In addition, geographically, Lampung Province is a transit area (stopover) between the islands of Java and Sumatra, especially the land route. In addition to the natives, the people who live in Lampung come from various regions outside the province of Lampung, so it can be said that the people of Lampung have blended various ethnicities, cultures, and languages. Having a variety of languages ​​and being a transit area affects the use of the Lampung language. In the fields of commerce, government, and even daily communication, people tend to use Indonesian. Because, in this case the Indonesian language becomes a unifying language in Lampung society and facilitates communication. This indirectly affects the existence of the Lampung language. Furthermore, the population of Lampung in 2018 was 9 million people and it was recorded that around 1 million people were teak speakers. This figure raises the hypothesis that the Lampung language will lose its true speakers. Regarding teak speakers, in 2017, a study that examined the language attitudes of students (Lampung native speakers) concluded that the majority of informants had a negative attitude. In a sense, they tend to use Indonesian, both when talking to their parents and relatives at home or in public places as well as when talking to friends who are also of Lampung ethnicity. In addition, it was also found that the family as the core scale of Lampung language learning is passive, resulting in children not being proficient in Lampung language. According to UNESCO, if at this stage children no longer use their mother tongue at home, the language is threatened with extinction. Another fact is also found in Ethnologue (a page that provides metadata for languages ​​in the world) that the Lampung language is in the threatened category (endangered), both dialects of fire or nyow). Likewise, according to Moseley, that Indonesia has 146 endangered languages, one of which is the Lampung language. Furthermore, there are also other problems related to research on the linguistic elements of the Lampung language. Arka found that from 1975 to 2007 there were 335 regional grammar studies and only 9 Lampung grammar studies were recorded. This means that research on Lampung grammar is still limited. Basically, from the facts mentioned above, it can be concluded that there are four factors that influenced the extinction of the Lampung language, namely transit areas, language diversity, population of native speakers, language attitudes, and limited studies. The complexity of these triggering factors is clearly visible before our eyes. So let’s try to save it. The efforts that can be made include: social field. Using the Lampung language in daily conversations starting from the family environment to public places and introducing the Lampung language through learning at school by prioritizing Lampung language skills. Studying and researching the Lampung language then publishing it in national and international journals and presented at national and international seminars or conferences. In closing, this is the time for us Lampung people to unite and echo “For You, My Lampung”. [Dr Afrianto, SS M.Hum, Lecturer at the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia]

But moving to realize a shared vision and mission,” he said. Chancellor of the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia Dr. HM Nasrullah Yusuf, SE., MBA. The development of a language, including Indonesian, cannot be separated from the world of education. “Including how students can not only speak Indonesian properly and correctly, but also can convey well regarding their needs,” said Dr. Nasrallah in his speech. He explained, various awards and achievements from lecturers and students from the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia at International and National. “This is one way to raise our universities at the International and National level, we are also heading for a World Class University,” he continued. Dr. Nasrullah hopes that the achievements of the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia Best PTS Sumatra can inspire all parties. In the event there was also a speech degree Dr. Nasrullah was one of the speakers. He said that the use of Indonesian in public spaces should not only be good and right, but also be appropriate. This needs to be campaigned on an ongoing basis. “In addition, many people can speak but cannot hear well, this is something that must also be addressed in the future. Then you must also be able to speak Indonesian properly and correctly when writing,” he explained. “We convey language not only speaking, writing, and listening. But also through digital literacy. That also needs to be thought about,” said Dr. Nasrallah further. UTI Chancellor Dr. Nasrullah said that in the world there are many languages that attract the world’s attention, especially big countries such as China, Arabic, Korean, English which are worldwide. This can happen due to many factors including Education and Trade. “Like Arabic, Chinese, and others, it’s because of trade as well as education. For this education factor, Indonesia can attract foreign students. Or if you want to accept foreign students, say Palestine, they have to learn the language first so they don’t have problems later,” he said. In addition, the chancellor, who recently received the best songwriter award from the Indonesian Chancellor Forum, also mentioned that the lecturer who is currently studying in Ireland introduced the Indonesian language used by the mass media. “They show the articles written in the newspapers here to the lecturers there, this is the language used,” he said. In addition, the digital literacy program that has been used by the Universitas  Teknokrat Indonesia for a long time can be a new thought, so as not to be fixated on new things. “It is necessary to encourage good language, the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia has carried out digital literacy in a different way of delivery. said Dr. Nasrullah In conclusion, we convey that language is no longer writing, speaking, but listening using digital literacy, from practice it must be a new thought and motivation,” he said. The Head of the Lampung Language Office, Dr. Eva Krisna, M. Hum., and Lampung Police Chief Inspector General. Pol. Drs. Hendro Sugiatno, MM. (teknokrat)

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING GRADUATES IN MINING FIELD

By COE CivilPosted on Posted in COE Civil

WOW Career Opportunity !!! Hello champions, when we talk about career opportunities for Civil Engineering graduates, most people usually think about jobs in construction, such as contractors, planning consultants, supervising consultants, employees in state-owned construction companies, or civil servants in the Public Works sector. However, Civil Engineering graduates also have many opportunities to work in the mining industry. According to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, mining activities include several stages, starting from general investigation, exploration, feasibility studies, construction, mining, processing and refining, transportation and sales, to post-mining activities. Construction is one of the important parts of mining operations. Therefore, Civil Engineering graduates who have knowledge and skills in construction planning and design also have good opportunities to build careers in the mining sector. Benefits of Mining Activities in Career Opportunities Currently, there are still some negative perceptions among the general public regarding career opportunities in mining activities, especially regarding environmental pollution caused by mining operation waste. This has actually been regulated by the government through its legal products so that if it is managed properly, the waste generated from mining activities should not disturb the harmony of nature, especially the environment around the mining area. The thing that must be known by a champion friend is that almost all industrial machines and electronic devices that we have ever known such as televisions, smartphones, power cables, lights, air conditioners and even laptops that the author is currently using to write articles require copper material as the main component for the device it can work. Other mining minerals such as aluminum, iron, tin are also useful as basic materials for making aircraft structures, modes of transportation, household products, construction materials and many other things that are used daily by humans. So like it or not or like it or not, mining activities must still be carried out as long as the minerals from the mine cannot be cultivated like plants. A foreign proverb says if you can’t grow it, you have to mine it. Therefore, by being involved in environmentally sound mining activities, it has indirectly helped humans in carrying out and facilitating their daily activities. Civil Engineering Science There Are Career Opportunities in Mining Activities Career opportunities for civil engineering graduates can be divided into four activities in mining projects, namely open pit mine operations, underground mine operations, environmental management, and urban planning and development. Then what civil engineering sciences can play a role in these activities? Open Mining and Closed Mining Career Opportunities Buddy champion, there are generally two main mining methods used in the mineral and coal mining industry: open-pit mining and underground mining. Open-pit mining is closely connected to slope stability because mining activities create pits on the surface that become wider as the excavation gets deeper. Meanwhile, underground mining requires knowledge of tunnel planning, design, and construction. Civil Engineering knowledge that can be applied in both mining methods includes the planning and operation of heavy equipment, slope stability, land surveying, soil compaction, soil and rock mechanics, reinforced concrete structures, as well as hydrology and hydraulic engineering. Career Opportunities in Environmental Management Another important area in mining operations is environmental management. This field covers activities such as environmental monitoring, waste management, land reclamation, and other efforts to reduce the environmental impact of mining. Environmental management is also related to Civil Engineering, especially for graduates who have studied environmental engineering and management. Therefore, Civil Engineering graduates with knowledge in this area can contribute to various environmental management activities within the mining industry. Career Opportunities in Urban Planning and Development Many mining operations are located in remote areas, far from cities and residential communities, such as forests, highland areas, or deserts. To provide a comfortable living environment for employees and their families, mining companies often develop residential areas or small communities near the mining site. They also need to build access roads, housing, and other basic infrastructure to support daily activities in these remote locations. The development of these areas involves many fields of Civil Engineering, including construction management, land preparation, road design, concrete and steel structures, sheet pile construction, urban planning, and drainage systems. Therefore, Civil Engineering graduates can also find career opportunities in the planning and development of residential and infrastructure facilities around mining areas.

Bandar Lampung – Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia continues to strengthen its international presence through the achievements of its academic community. Assoc. Prof. Dr.Sc. Dedi Darwis, S.Kom., M.Kom., CDSP., Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science (FTIK), was invited to serve as a Keynote Speaker at the prestigious 4th Latin American International Conference on Sustainable Engineering and Education (LAICSEE-2026), organized by the Institute for Engineering Research and Publication (IFERP) on June 19–20, 2026, in Lima, Peru. His participation in the international forum reflects the contribution of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia academics to the fields of technology, education, and sustainable development through digital innovation. The hybrid conference brought together academics, researchers, and practitioners from various countries. Dedi Darwis delivered a presentation titled “Leveraging Virtual and Augmented Reality for Green Infrastructure Planning, Education, and Sustainable Development.” He shared the stage with keynote speakers from countries including Peru, Oman, Malaysia, Iran, and Bangladesh to discuss innovative approaches to global development challenges in the digital transformation era. Highlighting the Importance of Green Infrastructure During his presentation, Dedi Darwis highlighted the growing challenges associated with rapid urbanization. Urban areas currently account for more than 70 percent of global energy consumption and over 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, while the proportion of the global population living in cities is projected to approach 70 percent by 2050. He emphasized that green infrastructure—including urban forests, bioswales, ecological corridors, and green roofs—is increasingly important in addressing the impacts of climate change. “Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can serve as a bridge to accelerate the planning, simulation, and educational processes related to green infrastructure, with greater cost efficiency and lower risks before physical implementation,” Dedi Darwis explained. Introducing Four Pillars of Immersive Technology Dedi Darwis also introduced four major technologies that are being developed at Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and the Metaverse. These technologies are developed using modern platforms, including Roblox Studio and Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3, to create more realistic, interactive, and collaborative learning and simulation experiences. According to Dedi Darwis, immersive technology is no longer limited to entertainment. It has increasingly become a strategic tool for education, research, urban planning, environmental conservation, and the development of future industries. Six Applications of VR and AR for Sustainable Development During the conference, Dedi Darwis presented six practical applications of VR and AR in supporting sustainable development: He also highlighted the potential of immersive technology to improve learning effectiveness. According to research referenced in his presentation, VR-based learning can increase knowledge retention by up to 75 percent compared with conventional learning methods.
