UNPRI, Medan — The Electrical Engineering Study Program at Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI), under the Faculty of Science and Technology (FAST), continues to demonstrate its commitment to producing excellent graduates with a socio-technopreneurship mindset. As one of FAST’s seven flagship programs and currently accredited “Baik Sekali” (Very Good), UNPRI’s Electrical Engineering not only focuses on electromedical education but also on developing creative, innovative, and professional human resources in electric power, electronics, and telecommunications.
The program equips students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills across power systems, electronics, control systems, renewable energy, and robotics. Through courses such as Electric Circuits, Microprocessors, Digital Techniques, and Energy Conversion, students are prepared to design, analyze, and repair electrical systems and to solve complex problems in modern industry. The relevance of this knowledge is high amid rapid technological advances and growing industrial demand, both domestically and internationally.
To strengthen students’ practical understanding, the Electrical Engineering Study Program held a “Power-Supply Circuit Building Workshop on PCB Layout” on Monday (03/06/2024). The activity took place in the Electrical Engineering classroom and was enthusiastically attended by students as enrichment beyond regular lectures. The workshop was led directly by two permanent lecturers of the program: Dr. Muhammad Irwanto, S.T., Ph.D. (morning session) and Winner P. Nainggolan, S.T., M.Kom. (evening session).
In this workshop, students were taught from basic theory to hands-on practice in building power-supply circuits using Proteus software, followed by transferring the design to a printed circuit board (PCB). PCBs are crucial components in electronic devices, serving as the platform that supports and interconnects components via conductive copper traces. “UNPRI Electrical Engineering students must master the most fundamental aspects of electrical engineering, including how to design and assemble a PCB. This is an essential foundation before they tackle more complex systems and technologies,” Winner explained during the training session.
This workshop not only deepened students’ competencies but also embodied the Tri Dharma of Higher Education—teaching, research, and community service. Lecturers are expected to be increasingly active in developing positive initiatives aligned with UNPRI’s excellent, socio-technopreneurship vision that emphasizes practice-based learning and innovation. Winner P. Nainggolan, S.T., M.Kom., who also serves as Head of the Bachelor’s Program in Electrical Engineering at UNPRI, stated that such activities will continue to be expanded so students are even better prepared to face future technological challenges. He emphasized that electrical engineering is not limited to power theory; it also demands the ability to design and implement real-world solutions in energy and electronic systems.
As one of the leading programs under FAST, the Bachelor’s Program in Electrical Engineering stands alongside six others: Industrial Engineering, Informatics Engineering, Information Systems, Visual Communication Design, Architecture, and Civil Engineering. Electrical Engineering itself studies electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to design, develop, and produce electrical and electronic devices and systems. Students are equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in areas such as electric power (strong current), electronics (weak current), telecommunications, control systems, and more. Through activities like this workshop, UNPRI reaffirms its commitment to delivering applied, innovative, and globally competitive learning in realizing an excellent campus and nurturing future technopreneurs.
