The D3 Dental Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Health Technology, Megarezky University (Unimerz) signed a collaboration (MoA) with the Psychology Study Program, Faculty of Social Sciences and Business, Mandala Waluya University, Kendari, Monday (19/12/2022).
The contents of the collaboration agreement between the two study programs are related to the implementation of the Tridharma Program for higher education.
When met at the MoA location, Dr. Andi Asri, SKM, M.Kes as Head of the Psychology Study Program at Mandala Waluya University said that the purpose of his visit to Megarezky University was to carry out an MoA with the Dental Engineering study program.
“Our presence is in the context of exploring cooperation. "We are interested in the campus promotion innovation carried out by the Megarezky University Dental Engineering Study Program for new student admissions," he said.
"So, God willing, we will implement it in 2023. The points of cooperation that we discussed earlier range from research, education and community service. "Apart from that, there will be a teacher exchange phase, joint service and joint research," he added.

Apart from that, he also hopes that all the program plans that we will implement in 2023 will run well.
"We hope that the program plan can be implemented well next year. "And we will also carry out an evaluation every year, to find out what obstacles were experienced during the MoA," he hoped.
Meanwhile, M. Syukri Siradjuddin, S.Ps, MA said that even though psychology and Dental Engineering are considered not in sync, both sciences have the same learning aspect, namely humans.
“The two have almost no correlation, but we still meet in one aspect, namely that we both learn about humans. Psychology is quite broad in scope, including emotions and behavior. "For example, in the field of research, we can export how a person's level of efficacy is when their teeth are damaged or what a teenager's image is when their teeth are damaged or straight," he explained.
Lastly, Dr. Umar Dg Palallo, SKM, M.Kes as Chair of the Unimerz D3 Dental Engineering Study Program hopes that all program plans can be implemented well.
"Our hope is of course the implementation or continuation of the MoA. Today we have discussed several MOA programs, it is likely that there will be additions to the collaboration plans later. "And most importantly, the arrival of ambassadors from the Psychology Study Program from Mandala Kendari University is a matter of pride that we are the destination of the many study programs at Unimerz," he said.
