Makassar. Toward the vision of a Golden Indonesia 2045, Cokroaminoto University Makassar (UCM) is taking concrete steps to bridge the gap between the school curriculum and the rapid development of technology. Through the Electrical Engineering Study Program, UCM successfully held a Telematics Training program entitled "Telematics for the Golden Generation: Preparing Superior Human Resources Towards Indonesia 2045," which was officially closed by the UCM Rector on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
This Community Service Program, in collaboration with Cokroaminoto Tamalanrea High School Makassar, was designed to be interactive. Students not only studied theory but also engaged in hands-on practice and discussions about the current digital ecosystem.
As a token of appreciation, the committee presented certificates of participation, awards for best participants, and scholarship vouchers for a 50% discount on tuition fees. This demonstrates UCM's commitment to providing the best educational services for the younger generation.
Equipping Students with the "Weapons" of the Future
The Head of the UCM Electrical Engineering Study Program, Lompo Ramos Emakarim, S.T., M.T., initiated an integrated training curriculum covering crucial topics: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, website development, game programming, and basic telecommunications and electricity.
UCM Rector, Dr. Lukman Daris, S.Pi., M.Si., in his closing remarks emphasized that this activity is part of the university's vision of producing superior and globally competitive graduates. He also appreciated the strong synergy between the university and the school in building a sustainable education ecosystem. As a symbol of the strengthened collaboration, a plaque of appreciation was also presented to the school.
UCM PSTE: A Bridge to the Global Industry
This training also opened students' minds to the excellence of the UCM Electrical Engineering Study Program (PSTE). Currently, PSTE UCM is developing an Outcome Based Education (OBE) curriculum that aligns with the university's vision of excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, and Islamic personality.
Students of the UCM PSTE program are not only strengthened in Mathematics and Basic Science, but also broaden their horizons in the telematics specialization, which combines telecommunications, computer, and informatics engineering. Specifically, students will delve into the field of Networking, where courses and practicums are geared toward preparing for the international CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification, which is highly sought after by the global industry.
Professional Lecturers and New Student Admission
The success of this training also demonstrates the quality of the UCM PSTE instructors, who possess professional experience in telecommunications, electrical installation, and Islamic personality development.
Currently, Cokroaminoto University Makassar has opened New Student Admissions (PMB). The learning experience in this training is expected to be the first step for students to continue their higher education at the UCM PSTE program. With a relevant curriculum and competent teaching staff, the UCM PSTE program will, God willing, be steadfast in producing a generation ready to contribute to the nation.
