Lampung (26/8) – The Food Technology Study Program of ITERA held a Study Program Curriculum Workshop on Thursday (16/8). The Food Technology Study Program Curriculum Workshop aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the needs of Food Technology graduates in Sumatra, which will then be formulated into the curriculum of the Food Technology Study Program at Institut Teknologi Sumatera.
During the event, Food Technology ITERA invited Prof. Dr. Tien R. Muchtadi, a Professor from the Food Technology Study Program at Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), as a speaker regarding the curriculum implementation at IPB and the Food Technology curriculum regulations according to the Indonesian Association of Food Technologists (PATPI).
The event was also attended by a representative from PATPI, Dr. Samsu U. Nurdin, representatives from the Agricultural Product Technology of Universitas Lampung, Food Technology of Politeknik Negeri Lampung, BPTP Lampung, B2PT Lampung, BPOM Lampung, as well as industry representatives from PT Great Giant Pineapple and PT Sinar Pematang Mulia II.
In the event, which was also attended by various representatives of other study programs at ITERA, Prof. Dr. Tien R. Muchtadi explained the importance of graduate profiles tailored to the working world in Sumatra. She also presented alternative ways of completing final projects that do not necessarily have to be conducted in a laboratory. “The completion of the final project can actually also be done through an internship at a factory and by solving problems within that factory.”
Through this Workshop activity, it is hoped that it can assist the Food Technology study program in designing a sound curriculum, enabling prospective graduates to work in accordance with the targeted objectives. (HAP)
