My Journey at the First FST Gathering, Exploring Engineering at Diponegoro University

16 May 2024

 As I stepped into the vibrant atmosphere of the inaugural gathering of the Forum Studi Teknik (FST) at Diponegoro University, I felt a surge of excitement and anticipation coursing through me. This event promised not only to introduce me to the diverse world of engineering but also to nurture my leadership skills and organizational acumen.

The journey began with an engaging introduction to FST, where faculty members eloquently painted a picture of the myriad opportunities that awaited within the realm of engineering. From civil to electrical, mechanical to chemical – the possibilities seemed endless, each field offering its own unique challenges and rewards.

Amidst the sea of eager faces, I found myself immersed in workshops designed to cultivate leadership qualities. Through collaborative exercises and thought-provoking discussions, I discovered facets of my own leadership style and learned the importance of effective communication, teamwork, and adaptability in guiding a team towards success.

As the gathering progressed, I delved deeper into my area of interest through specialized seminars and panel discussions. Here, I had the privilege of interacting with experts who generously shared their knowledge and experiences, igniting within me a passion for the endless possibilities that engineering offered.

But it wasn't just about academic enrichment – the gathering also emphasized the importance of organizational prowess. Through hands-on activities and group projects, I learned valuable lessons in event planning, project management, and the art of delegation, skills that would undoubtedly serve me well in my future endeavors.

However, perhaps the most memorable moments were the inspirational talks delivered by distinguished alumni of FST. Listening to their stories of triumphs and setbacks, of challenges overcome and dreams realized, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination to carve out my own path in the world of engineering.

As I bid farewell to the gathering, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the transformative experience it had provided. Not only had I gained invaluable insights into the world of engineering, but I had also forged lasting connections, honed essential skills, and emerged a more confident and empowered individual ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.
