Application of Online Administration System for Practical Work(PW) in the Petroleum Engineering Department, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Yogyakarta

Abstract

Practical Work (PW) is one of the compulsory courses for students in the Petroleum Engineering Department, UPN Veteran Yogyakarta. Previously, the administrative system that was implemented used a manual system. This system has several weaknesses, including the ineffectiveness of drafting course letters, an activity reporting system, and an activity assessment. The ineffectiveness of the Practical Work (PW) administration system can also be seen from the results of the satisfaction survey of the existing administrative system. The survey results stated that 34.6% of 81 respondents stated that the administrative system implemented was less effective. This study creates an online administration system using an online form (google forms) to simplify the system for making course letters, reporting, and assessing Practical Work (PW) activities. The steps were carried out, among others, satisfaction surveys, making online forms, making online SOPs, manuals book, and socializing the application of the online administration system. The application of the online administration system went as expected without any significant obstacles. From this research, it is hoped that the administration system will be more effective and can be paperless. In the future, the system is expected to become a pioneer in the online administration system in the Petroleum Engineering Department.
