Practical Work

In order to prepare development studies (SP) graduates who are ready to go directly into the world of work and are ready to be developed, various efforts are made to introduce real problems in companies/industry to students. One form of introducing real problems is Practical Work (KP) activities. KP is a means to introduce students to the field of SP expertise and train students to do jobs that are usually done by SP graduates in a company/industry. KP is more specific in analyzing a problem in a company/industry and recommending solutions to overcome the problem. This knowledge and skills will also be used to provide provisions for students to understand the scientific field of SP in a more real way.
