As the new Chairman of the PII, Bobby urges materialize Act Keinsinyuran. It is also the recommendation in the XIX Congress of the PII. The ACT is important for the realization of a competent engineer experts in the country.
"We're all concerned because the existence of engineers in development in Indonesia, indeed it is very strategic. PII already aged 60 years, should not we already have Keinsinyuran laws. Not to be outdone by other countries in the Asian region, "said Bobby in his written remarks, Wednesday (27/11/2012).
The Chairman of the Congress Organisers XIX PII Hermanto Dardak also added, the existence of this ACT will safeguard standards and competence in the international arena, among others, through the mechanism of a certification.
About Bobby, engineers have considerable role and participation in the process and the creation of quality development. Moreover, Indonesia is now the world's investors spotlight.
"Indonesia is being targeted investors and became one of the Prima Donna of the investment. With a budget of development that is big enough, we all expect a lot that can be done by professionals like engineers in building Indonesia. Construction of the need engineers, and engineers need support the legislation, "stated Bobby.
Engineers in Indonesia also remains minimal, with the amount of 750,000 people. The ratio of engineers compared the total population was still very little. Compare other countries, Malaysia the number of additional engineers nearly 327 people per year.
While in Viet Nam, the number of engineers increased by over 280 people per year, and in South Korea the number of engineers increased by about 800 people a year. "There should be serious efforts to be able to print the number of engineers who are more. If not, we will experience a crisis of engineers, "he said.
Bobby looked at, the interest of youth to become engineers and explore the field of engineering is likely to be reduced. The current condition of the number of new undergraduate engineering Indonesia around 11% of or as much as 1.05 million out of a total Bachelor as much as 9.6 million. Compare with the United States in 2008 already have engineers as much as 1.571.900.
"Ironic at all. In a number of universities, we hear, the interest of the students to enter the Faculty of engineering, lately also continues to decline, "he said.
