Alumni Testimonials

Studying at USU's Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering taught me the meaning of collaboration, hard work, and solidarity among peers.

The campus experience in the Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering in 1995 was my first time going out of my hometown, which was a challenging first experience for me when I had to leave my beloved city, leaving my parents and siblings who had been with me since elementary school to high school. I was hesitant to continue learning in the USU Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering due to my displeasure with the subject of electrical physics during high school. However, I dismissed all of that by trying and trying to understand the same subjects in college, which were electrical circuits 1, electrical circuits 2, and electrical circuits 3 or linear systems. With the growth mindset I instilled, no problem has no solution, and there is no difficult course. With effort and hard work, I finally conquered the electrical circuit course with the maximum value (grade A) I got for the 3 courses. The concentration I took was telecommunications engineering, which was one of the most popular concentrations at that time. The USU Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering taught me a lot about the meaning of cooperation, collaboration, hard work, and friendship, among others. Many friends and companions always provide encouragement and enthusiasm in completing lectures, whether from senior brothers, junior brothers, or lecturers. Assisting lecturers in applying for study program grants is one of the jobs we do together between lecturers and several students in completing the grant proposal even though we have to work until night (stay up late). Another valuable experience during college was getting the opportunity to receive a Djarum Scholarship from 1996 to 1998 to help with tuition fees and get the opportunity to follow the COOP Internship Program at PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Regional Division 1 Sumatra in 1999. After graduating in 2000, I worked at Medan Business Internet Cafe for approximately 6 months while looking for a better job. Alhamdulillah, I got an opportunity to work as a maintenance engineer in one of the chocolate companies in Medan, PT Effem Indonesia, in mid-2001. After working there for almost a year, I finally got an offer to work as a lecturer at Politeknik Caltex Riau in mid-2002. Alhamdulillah, until 2022, I have been working at one of the best national private polytechnics, Riau Caltex Polytechnic, for almost 20 years, and have held several important positions, ranging from Head of Basic Programming Laboratory, Head of Computer Engineering Study Program, Assistant Director 3 for Student Affairs, Assistant Director 4 for Cooperation, Assistant Director 3 for Cooperation, Partnership and Business, Head of UPT PPM Caltex Riau Polytechnic, Certification Manager at LSP P1 Caltex Riau Polytechnic, Director of LSP P1 Caltex Riau Polytechnic, Director of PT PCR Solusi Teknologi, to actively being a facilitator in capacity building activities in several SMK / SMA.
