On 14 January 2025, I attended a graduation ceremony at UGM. It was my second degree from UGM after a bachelor of engineering that I earned 24 years ago. This time, I was awarded a professional degree of engineer. Insinyur, in Bahasa Indonesia.
An academia like me might not really find a professional engineer degree that useful. I don’t do much professional engineering projects in my career but still, the degree is an important achievement. Now I can officially a two-letter degree in front of my name “Ir”. I know it is not going to change anything dramatically. I am still the same person that people knew before I earned the degree. Yes, it is an important milestone.
With the new degree, i am sure I can to better. I thank Asti and Lita for being with me along the way. Thanks for your endless supports!
