Contact UsAs an institution committed to research and development, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya is actively involved in joint research efforts with its network of local and international partners. This dedication continues to support the university in producing adept and sought-after graduates through a competitive curriculum with a focus on STEM fields tailored to develop future business leaders. In carrying out this multidisciplinary approach, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya is poised to remain as a reliable partner for prominent local and international companies in search of skilled local talents.
“ This call for further investment in STEM will result in Indonesia being able to address the issues that it currently faces. ”
Through its widespread network of institutional partners, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya engages in student exchange programmes as a measure to produce globally-minded graduates. Longstanding experience in this regard is in keeping with the university’s focus on pluralism and has encouraged the university to provide English-speaking classes to support its mission. Moving forward, the university is expected to initiate further partnerships with leading institutions therefore providing students with early exposure to the international business climate. Previous cooperation with leading overseas institutions include the University of New South Wales, University of Melbourne, National Taiwan University, Boston University, and Tsinghua University. Universitas Prasetiya Mulya has also setup immersion projects in partnership with Georgia Tech as well as initiating the Korea Indonesia Taiwan (KIT) Project.
Entrepreneurial Energy Engineering student Mr Gede Herry Arum recently developed the ‘Smart Trash Can’, an innovative waste collection device that utilises technology to dispose of waste effectively. The young inventor successfully presented his prototype in a number of national and international exhibitions, most notably the International Exhibition for Young Inventors 2017 in Nagoya Japan through which he won a gold medal in the Green Technology category. Furthermore, in recognition of his accomplishments, Mr Arum was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences.
In designing the prototype, four individual trash cans were labelled with distinct categories of waste namely plastic, organic, metals, and glass. Specialised sensors located at the front of each trash can will recognise the waste being discarded and the lid will only open to the waste corresponding to each specific category; the device is powered by a small battery and uses a microcontroller chip. Through this invention, it is hoped that waste sorting could be made more efficient as well as encourage local communities to recycle more.
As one of Indonesia's most prominent higher education institution, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya lays claim to a storied history of fostering the development of entrepreneurs that are already impacting local industries. The university’s willingness to provide support in the form of an effective balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application has seen its students create projects that have transitioned into fully-operational business ventures.
