Presentasi pertama di ENSEEIHT

[IND]

Akhirnya nulis lagi. Udah 7 bulan di Perancis.  Setelah 7 minggu Package Intégration de Langue (Belajar bahasa+Homestay) di Strasbourg, 4 bulan Package Intégration de Methodologique (Belajar metode belajar di Grands Ecole Perancis, belajar mata kuliah dasar Elektro), tibalah gw di Toulouse. Kota tujuan akhir gw, dan tanggal 8 Februari 2010 nanti mulai kuliah gabung sama mahasiswa tahun kedua Génie Electrique et Automatique ENSEEIHT (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Electrotechnique, d’Electronique, d’Informatique, d’Hydraulique, et des Télécommunications), tempat belajar gw sampe Oktober 2011 nanti..

Setelah 7 minggu musim panas di Strasbourg, dan 4 bulan musim dingin (sampe -11 derajat Celcius) di Metz. Masa2 yang berat nan menyenangkan adaptasi sama negara baru, kultur baru, dan yang pasti jauh dari orang2.. Setelah perubahan2 yang menyenangkan, menyedihkan, biasa2 aja, yang terduga maupun tak terduga. Sampailah gw ke kampus tempat gw mau belajar kuliah2 Elektro, terutama yang berhubungan sama Elektronika Daya dan konversi energi elektrik.

Berhubung gw baru dateng di kampus, gw diwajibkan (diminta) mempresentasikan PPP (bukan nama partai, tapi Projet Pérsonelle Profesionelle). Mata kuliah PPP merupakan matakuliah yang diambil oleh seluruh mahasiswa tahun ke dua (déuxieme année) di program studi teknik elektro dan kendali (Génie Electrique et Automatique – GEA) dari program Diplôme d’Inginieure (BAC+5) di ENSEEIHT. Tapi gw lebih diminta untuk jelasin gw mau ngapain di ENSEEIHT.

Yup, asik euy ngerjain slidenya. Hmm.. Mengingat2 kembali, kenapa gw berangkat ke sini.. Inget2 momen2 gw mutusin ke sini.. Diskusi sama orangtua, temen2 di lab, sama seseorang yang pernah bangun mimpi bareng2 sama gw, sama dosen2. Kayak flashback ke masa lalu.. Masa2 kuliah, masa2 setelah baru lulus, bahkan momen ktika gw berangkat untuk pertama kalinya. hehehe… Banyak hal udh berubah sekarang setelah 7 bulan, tapi satu hal tetep, gw ngerasa gw harus fight untuk mimpi2 gw di sini.. Bagaimanapun orang2 berubah, destiny gw tetep destiny gw..

Jadilah gw membuat slide, mengoprek2 file2.. Memang mimpi utama gw adalah pengen bikin koneksi yang bagus antara riset dan kebutuhan masyarakat dan industri. Di ENSEEIHT ini keren banget, setiap jurusan punya labnya masing2. Untuk GEA ada lab LAPLACE (http://www.laplace.univ-tlse.fr/). Info lengkap dalam bahasa inggris ada di sini nih (http://www.bde.enseeiht.fr/clubs/englishwebsite/research.php). Lab2 ini terkoneksi sama kampus2 lain dan terkoneksi juga dengan industri.

Yah memang untuk bisa maju, Indonesia harus maju dengan risetnya. Miris juga melihat ketika teman2 di kampus dulu ga punya banyak pilihan untuk memajukan keilmuan lewat riset setelah lulus. (topik yang panjang kalau dibahas, nanti saya bikin lagi tulisanya sendiri tentang ini). Indonesia harus punya perkembangan riset dengan warnanya sendiri dan bisa dikolaborasikan dengan bangsa2 lain. Yang tentunya riset2 itu selain memajukan ilmu pengetahuan dan kompetensi bangsa kita, juga bisa memajukan kesejahteraan bangsa; entah itu riset high-tech atau low-tech. Semuanya penting..

Balik ke presentasi.. Akhirnya karena gw keasikan liburan di Paris selama hampir seminggu, gw nunda2 mulu ngerjain slidenya (kebiasaan buruk), jadilah bekerja keras smaleman sebelum presentasi. hoho… Disidang (secara santai sih) oleh Kepala Departemen GEA Madame M. David, Monsieur Michel Doisy sang Penanggung jawab program nplusi di ENSEEIHT, Monsieur Bruno Saréni dosen yang bertanggung jawab akan mahasiswa asing di departemen GEA. Presentasi pagi2 jam 9. Bangun jam 6, tapi ninggalin tempat tidur baru jam 8. Alhasil, mandi buru2, sarapan dua potong roti tawar, dan naik sepeda buru2 ke Compans Caffarelli buat naik Metro sampe Francois Verdier sebelum jalan 5 menit ke ENSEEIHT. Jam 8h52 nyampe di ruang B307. Bapak Bruno Saréni udah tiba duluan, nyiap2in in-focus. Untung aja ga telat.

Presentasi gw diawali dengan menjelaskan sistem kuliah S-1 Teknik Elektro ITB mulai dari tahun pertama sampai ke-4. Mereka sangat ingin tahu, karena di ENSEEIHT memang beda sistemnya. Lalu gw ceritain sejarahnya bisa milih kuliah ke sana. Di tingkat2 akhir memang gw beruntung punya kesempatan berhubungan banyak dengan Bapak2 pimpinan kampus dan bisa tahu beberapa informasi tentang riset di Indonesia dan peran perguruan tinggi. Bisa tahu beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan dengan segitu banyaknya potensi manusia Indonesia di bidang ke-insiyuran kenapa kita masih bergantung pada teknologi asing untuk mengolah sumber daya alam bangsa kita sendiri. Walaupun gw bukan mahasiswa dengan prestasi akademik yang cemerlang banget di Teknik Elektro ITB 2004, gw rasa gw bisa berperan di sini. Gimana potensi manusia Indonesia bisa dengan optimal memandirikan bangsa kita. Gimana riset di kampus, yg dilakukan oleh orang2 keren (dosen dan mahasiswa) bisa mengembangkan bangsa kita secara optimal. Yah, gw mendongeng sedikitlah tentang pusat inovasi di bidang konversi energi elektrik dan sistem elektrik yang jadi mimpi gw.. semua memang berawal dari mimpi kan?

Kaget dengar respon mereka.. senang melihat mereka paham kekhawatiran gw dan mereka menawarkan bantuan dan memberikan usulan2. Semangat jadinya, walaupun artinya gw harus bekerja lebih keras lagi. Dari diskusi setelah presentasi, ada dua opsi yang tepat buat gw pada tahun terakhir. Entah itu TAEE (Traitement Avancées de l’Energie Electrique – http://www.enseeiht.fr/fr/formation/genie_electrique/formation_en_genie_electrique/3eme_annee/taee.html) atau Eco Energy (http://www.ensiacet.fr/Web_A7/ENSIA7_FR/FORMATION/INGENIEUR/OPTION/ecoe.shtml).

Musti memilih nanti April 2010. hoho.. Ada usulan?

At last I’ve started to write again. It has been 7 months since I arrived in France. After 7 weeks of Package Intégration de Langue (learning french while doing the homestay) in Strasbourg, 4 months of Package Intégration de Methodologique in Metz(learning the studying method in France’s Grandes Ecoles, revising electrical engineering basic courses), here I am in Toulouse. The last destination of my adventure here in France (for my studies), and on the February 8th I’ll start my studies here, I’ll be joining the second-year students of ENSEEIHT’s Génie Electrique et Automatique (GEA). ENSEEIHT stands for (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Electrotechnique, d’Electronique, d’Informatique, d’Hydraulique, et des Télécommunications) which is the school I’ll be studying in until October 2011.

After 7 weeks of summer in Strasbourg, 4 months of a really cold winter (it reached -11 degrees of Celcius) in Metz. A hard and fun periode of adapting with a new country, a new culture, and far from the people I love. After the changes which were good, sad, normal, expected or unexpected, I’ve arrived in the school where I’ll be studying electrical engineering, especially power electronics and electric energy conversion.

Because I’m new in the school, I was asked to present a PPP (Projet Pérsonelle Profesionelle – Personal Profesional Project). The subject PP is a course which is taken by all second-year students in the department of Electrical Engineering and Control (GEA) of the Diplôme d’Ingenieure (BAC+5) of ENSEEIHT. But, mostly I was asked to explain what I had wanted to study in ENSEEIHT.

It was a fun to make the slides. Memorizing why I chose to go here. Memorizing the moments when I chose to go here. The discussions with my parents, friends in the lab, she who had built dreams together with me, with the profesors. It was like a moment of flashback. My moments in the university, moments when I had just graduated, even the momen when I left Jakarta for the first time. sigh.. Things have changed now after 7 months, but one thing remains the same, I still have the passion to fight for my dreams here. How ever people have changed, my destiny is always mine to embrace.

So, I made my slides, I reopend my files in my laptop.. My ultimate dream is to open a connection, a good one, between the researche and people’s and industries’ needs. In ENSEEIHT, each department is connected to a laboratory. For GEA there is LAPLACE http://www.laplace.univ-tlse.fr/. The complete information in english can be founded in http://www.bde.enseeiht.fr/clubs/englishwebsite/research.php. These labs are connected with many schools and, of course, with the industry.

In order to be a properous country, Indonesia has to progress with its researches. It’s sad to see my friends in my university have not many choices to make in order to improve their knowledge through research after graduating. I won’t discuss about this topic in this post. sigh.. Indonesia ought to have a good progress in its researches with its own accent and they can be collaborated with the researches of other countries. This researches also have to be able to improve Indonesia’s prosperity beside Indonesia’s knowledge and competence. Wheter it’s a high-tech or low-tech one, all is importan.

Now we return to the presentation. Because I was drowned in a nice holiday in Paris for almost a week, I delayed oftenly working on the slides, a bad habit it is. So, I had to workd hard in the night before the presentation. hoho.. I did the presentation in front of the Head of the GEA Department, Mrs. M. Davide, Mr. Michel Doisy who is the person in charge of the nplusi program in ENSEEIHT, and Mr. Bruno Sereni who is one of the professors in my department. It was done at 9 o’clock in the morning. I had woken up at 6, but I left my bed at 8. Hence, I took a bath fastly, a breakfast of two slices of bread, and I rode my bike to Compans Caffarelli to take the Metro until Francois Verdier before walking to ENSEEIHT for 5 minutes. At 8.52 I arrived in the classroom B307. Mr. Sareni had arrived before me, he was preparing the projector. Gladly, I was not late.

The presentation started with the explanation about how things are done in the Bachelor program of Electrical Engineering in ITB, beginning from the first year until the fourth. They were curious because the system in ENSEEIHT is different with ITB’s system. I explained also why I had chosen to go to ENSEEIHT. At my last years in ITB, I was lucky to have the chance to make contacts with the people who were running ITB’s organization and to discover informations about researches in Indonesia and the universities part on it. I was lucky to discover several factors (not all of them) which had caused Indonesia’s dependence to foreign technology to process its natural resources, despite, its abundant resources of Indonesian engineers. Although I wasn’t a diligent and genius student with an awesome academic achievements among my fellow electrical engineering students, I think I can participate in this subject. How Indonesia’s human resources can optimally fight for Indonesia’s independence? How could the researches in universities, whic are done by great people (professors and students) maximally develop our nation? I explained the ‘jury’ about my dream of an innovation center in the electric energy conversion and electric system domain. Indeed, everything starts from a dream..  

I was surprised to hear their respons. It was great to see them understand about my worries of Indonesia and to see them offering their help and suggestions. It supported my moral, although, it meaned that I ought to work harder and harder. From our discussions, there were two options which were the best for me to choose in the last year. Whether it’s TAEE (Traitement Avancées de l’Energie Electrique – http://www.enseeiht.fr/fr/formation/genie_electrique/formation_en_genie_electrique/3eme_annee/taee.html) or Eco Energy (http://www.ensiacet.fr/Web_A7/ENSIA7_FR/FORMATION/INGENIEUR/OPTION/ecoe.shtml).

I will have to make the decision in April 2010. Any ideas?

best regards,

-Nemi-
