The Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology at the University continues to develop itself, striving to meet the needs of stakeholders, including societal needs, industrial needs, and professional needs, while maintaining and enhancing the quality of higher education continuously through internal efforts to realize its vision and mission, through the implementation of the Three Pillars of Higher Education.

The inauguration of the Master’s Program in Geological Engineering, the one and only in JABODETABEK, was born within the campus of Pahlawan Reformasi Universitas Trisakti, and the inauguration was conducted in a hybrid manner on November 18, 2023, at Building D of the Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology.

“The struggle to open this program has begun since 2004. There were many obstacles, especially regarding where this program would be taken. In addition, there were also issues with legality that made the establishment of a new program impossible to accommodate. Thankfully, after the new Foundation administration, everything began to progress,” said Dean Dr. Ir. M. Burhannudinnur, M.S.c., IPU, during his address.

Subsequently, Vice Rector IV, Prof. Dr. drg. Tri Erri Astoeti, M.Kes, delivered a speech and congratulations to FTKE USAKTI on behalf of the Rector of Universitas Trisakti, followed by the cutting of a ceremonial rice cone and closed with impressions and messages from invited guests from the industrial world, including Fernando Pasaribu (Vice President Exploitation of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy), Adi Maryono (Director of PT J Resources Asia Pasifik), STJ Budi Santoso (Chairman of the Indonesian Geologist Association), Raden Ajeng Sondaryani (Chairman of the FTKE Alumni Association), Junita Musu (LEMIGAS), and Widyawan Prawira Atmaja (SBM ITB).

Hopefully, with the birth of a new program within the scope of Universitas Trisakti under the Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology, it can align with the vision of FTKE Usakti, which is to become a reliable, internationally standardized faculty while still considering local values in developing knowledge, earth sciences, and energy technology, to enhance quality of life and civilization.
