The Applied Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Study Program of the Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University underwent an online Field Assessment with representatives of the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) for accreditation assessment on Friday - Saturday (18-19/06/2021). The BAN-PT assessors in charge of the AL were Dr. Zahrul Fuadi, M.Sc., from Syiah Kuala University and Dr. Yusuf Dewantoro Herlambang, M.T., from Semarang State Polytechnic.

The Rector of Yogyakarta State University, Prof. Dr. Sumaryanto, M.Kes., AIFO in his speech hoped that this field assessment would have an impact on the progress and performance improvement of the Applied Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Study Program. "Under the direction of BAN-PT, hopefully our ideals in serving stakeholders can improve in quality," continued the Rector of UNY.

Meanwhile, Dr. Zahrul Fuadi, M.Sc., explained that his presence was like a photographer to capture the real condition of the Applied Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Study Program, which we will later submit to BAN-PT to assess the quality of the portrait.

"To get good and objective photos, we will take pictures from all sides," continued Dr. Zahrul Fuadi.

In line with this, Dr. Yusuf Dewantoro Herlambang, M.T., that this process will take place as objectively as possible without the slightest conflict of interest.

Dean of FT UNY, Prof. Herman Dwi Surjono, Ph.D., in his presentation said that the Applied Bachelor Mechanical Engineering Study Program (D4) is a metamorphosis of D3 Mechanical Engineering based on the direction of the Higher Education to strengthen the vocational education level as an answer to future industrial challenges.

After the opening, the event then continued with the verification process of Form III A and Form III B of the Faculty and Study Program.
