UNPRI, Medan – As part of strengthening industry-based practical learning, students of the Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas Prima Indonesia (FAST–UNPRI), participated in a Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity resulting from the collaboration between Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) and the Medan Center for Vocational Training & Productivity (BBPVP). This training program was conducted for 20 days, from 15/09/2025 to 08/10/2025, located on the 20th floor of UNPRI’s main campus. This activity is a follow-up to the implementation of the MoU between UNPRI and BBPVP Medan, Ministry of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia, signed by UNPRI Rector Prof. Dr. Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, M.Kes., AIFO-K., and Head of BBPVP Medan Faried Abdurahman Nur Yuliono, S.STP., M.M., on August 26, 2025, in the main meeting room of the UNPRI Campus, 10th Floor, Jalan Sampul No. 3 Medan Petisah.
The signing of this collaboration marks a strategic step for UNPRI as an excellent campus and socio-technopreneurship institution in North Sumatra to strengthen collaboration between the education sector and industry. Through this vocational-based training program, both institutions are committed to realizing “link and match” between the academic environment and the professional world, while promoting the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Work-Based Learning (WBL) relevant to the needs of modern industrial sectors.
In this PBL activity, not only Industrial Engineering students took part, but also students from various other study programs at UNPRI. A total of 144 students from three faculties—Faculty of Agrotechnology (FAT), Faculty of Science and Technology (FAST), and Faculty of Economics (FE)—participated in nine thematic project packages selected by UNPRI in accordance with current industrial issues. For Industrial Engineering students of FAST–UNPRI, the selected topic was “Logistics Management Through Digital Monitoring and Tracking Technology,” focusing on supply chain system efficiency supported by Industry 4.0 technology.
Several other project themes developed include: automation of hydroponic nutrition with a smart nutrition system, management of irrigation systems based on smart farming, development of a web-based tourism information system, operation of generative AI tools for digital content and business, and optimization of marketing through social media. All these projects are designed to provide students with direct and in-depth experience in applying industrial concepts, technology, and digital creativity according to their respective fields.
The purpose of this activity is not only limited to the implementation of the MoU between institutions, but also to equip students with vocational and technical skills in the field of manufacturing, as well as to develop their abilities in modern production management. After completing 20 days of Project-Based Learning (PBL) training, students are required to undergo another 20 days of Work-Based Learning (WBL) field practice at designated locations to directly apply the theories they have learned in a real work environment.
“Students train directly using industrial machines, production process simulations, quality control, and efficient work systems based on Industry 4.0 technology. Through this training, they gain a comprehensive understanding of manufacturing production processes and quality control. This program enhances students’ readiness to enter the workforce and strengthens the UNPRI–BBPVP synergy in industrial human resource development,” explained Dr. Anita Christine Sembiring, S.T., M.T., Head of the Industrial Engineering Study Program at UNPRI.
This Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity serves as concrete evidence of UNPRI’s commitment to realizing a “Campus with Impact,” which connects the academic world with the real needs of industry and the nation. Through project-based and practical learning approaches, UNPRI continues to produce graduates who are skilled, active, innovative, creative, adaptive, independent, ethical, and have strong character with IT-based socio-technopreneurship insight, ready to compete globally toward Indonesia Emas 2045 and becoming a “World Class University.” (Yd).
