Day in college in state polytechnic of malang Part 1

Hi friends, as i told in my last post. I’d like to tell you the college story of chemical engineering in polinema.

Malang is the second largest city in East Java. State Polythecnic of Malang, popularly known as Polinema (Politeknik Negeri Malang), is one of educational institutions that offer variety of courses both in the field of engineering and business. Currently, Polinema has 6 departments and 17 study programs, both diploma 3 and Diploma 4 programs. The education system in polinema focuses on preparing its graduates with the skills and competencies required by industry. The education system consist of theoretical and practical content courses, which construct respectively 40% and 60% of the coverage, delivered in the competency-based curricullum.

I took diploma 3 program as chemical engineering major. In the first day, the students should attend the orientation day. The director of polinema would give a speech to welcoming us and give informations about the rules and events. New students have to obey every single event to get a certificates and to join the college. One of them is 1 weeks military training. Military training is needed for students to create good attitude and discipline. It is really effectively creating a good habit to make student more decipline because the student have to used to be in underpressure situation. But don’t worry about it. We used to it after 3 days training. It was really great experience. We learned the role of team as well.

After the military training is over. The students have to join a college orientation in their own major. This event was introducing the organization of chemical engineering and the lectures. There were also so many games related to the major. There weren't individual games, those games was given to us for our consideration to be a team worker. In the last meeting of orientation day, all of us got a make up powder (it was actually a carbon active) from elder college for celebrating and welcoming us.  It was challenging and interesting experience.

Orientation day

There are 6 semester in chemical engineering diploma 3 majoring. In the first semester, we have to brush up our knowledges from senior high school or vocational high school. I’ll explain those subjects in complete post (Click Here for the subject topics). From those subject, there are practical subjects such as basic chemistry laboratory and bioprocess laboratory on semester 1. Every subject has their own experiment task. Before we were going to do an experiment in laboratory, all we have to do were preparing formula and learning the safety. The college have to use laboratory coat, goggle, and laboratory mask. We have 3 to 5 hours to complete the experiments and also we have to make a report of the experiment result. The colleges must learn how to use laboratory stuffs to complete the experiments on time. But there is no need to worry about. We’ll guided by lecturer.

In the next post i will explain the part 2 of day in college, thank you for visiting this post, i hope you like it.
