Analysis of Readiness Faculty of Engineering to Develop Study Programmes in the Face of Universitas Negeri Jakarta Status as an Incorporated State University

Abstract

This research is a study of the readiness of the Faculty of Engineering Universitas Negeri Jakarta (FT UNJ) to develop study programmes in order to face the Universitas Negeri Jakarta becoming an incorporated state universities, called PTN-BH, towards a world-class university. The development of the world of work and industry requires the readiness of universities, especially study programmes in preparing graduates with competencies according to the world of work and industry which is changing rapidly and dynamically. The FT UNJ has 20 study programmes (PS) in various fields and types of science, consisting of master's programme in vocational education, undergraduate programmes in education, undergraduate engineering programmes, and applied undergraduate/diploma programmes. The potential to develop existing PS within the FT UNJ is wide open, especially to open master's programmes and doctoral programmes. The PS development plan is getting stronger with the plan for Universitas Negeri Jakarta to become a PTN-BH which autonomously has the authority, including (1) opening, organising and closing PS; (2) establishing business entities and developing endowment fund; and (3) appointing and dismissing its own lecturers and education staff. The results of the research are used as material in developing potential PS. One form is the development of PS to a higher level based on specified criteria such as (1) feasibility study of community needs, (2) curriculum, (3) lecturers as the main human resources in higher education, and (4) management by the faculty. According to the PS accreditation criteria and the academic qualifications of lecturers, FT UNJ is ready to develop the master's program in Technology and Vocational Education to become a doctoral program in vocational education. In addition, a number of PS at the undergraduate level have the opportunity to be developed, including Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Food Technology.
