Held at the FMIPA UNEJ parking lot, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), officially opened the 2026 New Student Guidance and Development (PPMB) program for the University of Jember’s FMIPA (5/9). “Welcome to FMIPA; I hope this year’s PPMB brings about tangible breakthroughs through the introduction of programs such as PPK Ormawa, PKM, and Satria Data, ultimately resulting in the creation of prototypes,” he began. Citing the FMIPA motto “Create, Innovate, Achieve” the Dean emphasized that students should not stop at mere written outputs or simulations. “Do not simply produce concepts or settle for simulations; instead, continue to develop your work and leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to create actual prototypes,” he advised.
The Dean also encouraged students to utilize AI to support their studies, aiming to enhance efficiency and accessibility. “FMIPA students must be capable of becoming AI agents, given their strong foundational knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as data science,” he expressed. The remarks concluded with the FMIPA UNEJ slogan: “Berkreasi, Berinovasi, Berprestasi” Attendees at the opening ceremony included the Vice Dean for Student Affairs (Vice Dean III), department heads, and the leaders of student associations (HMJ) and student organizations (ORMAWA) within FMIPA. Finally, the Dean, accompanied by Vice Dean III, ceremonially pinned a badge on a participant, marking the official commencement of the PPMB 2026 program at FMIPA UNEJ. Continue reading
