\section{Faculty Qualifications}
\label{SEC:Faculty Qualifications}
The EESP faculty member consists of 31 core members, 5 of them are professors.  The faculties come from a wide variety of graduated domestic and overseas institutions. They are dedicated persons who have competence and expertise that support the achievement of learning in EESP. Their expertise includes Telecommunications and Information Engineering, Electric Power Engineering, and Computer, Control and Electronic Engineering. 

In Telecommunication and Information Engineering, the EESP has 9 faculties. They have many years of experience in design and planning of telecommunication system related to wireless, satellite, fiber optic, antenna, traffic engineering, and switching. In Electric Power Engineering, the EESP has 17 faculty members. They have expertise in Stability, Control and Power System Protection, Power Electronics, High Voltage and Isolation, Distribution of Power Systems and Electrical Installations, Power Systems and Electricity, Electricity Infrastructure. In Computer, Control and Electronic Engineering, the EESP has 5 faculty, excluding a visiting lecture from Germany. The name of Faculty Core Members is presented in Table 6-4.

Most of the faculty conduct highly research activities and manage the research groups in their each field of expertise. They are also very active in writing some articles for some conferences and reputable international journals.


\section{Faculty Workload}
\label{SEC:Faculty Workload}
The EESP full-time faculty members requires to fulfil 12-16 credits hours in each semester which covering the area of teaching, research, community service, and others. Teaching and research typically accounts for minimum 9 credits hours of workload, where teaching for minimum 6 credit hours. The teaching activities include thesis supervisor, examiner for proposal seminar and final year report, and academic advisor. The faculty members engage in minimum 3 hours of community service and other activities. Table 6-2 presents the Faculty Workload Summary and describes this information in terms of workload expectations or requirements.

\section{Faculty Size}
\label{SEC:Faculty Size}
The faculty members are sufficient to cover all of the courses both required engineering courses and elective courses, with at least two faculty members competent of teaching the courses. All of the courses are presented at once a year, and some of the elective courses are offered for every semester. 

Interactions with students: Several ways are conducted to interact between faculty and students. The faculty interacts closely with the students by face-to-face meeting in classroom or meeting in the faculty room. Interaction can also be done through online media such as e-mail, Learning Management System (LMS), social media, and special social media application groups. The interactions are usually done in relation to the assignment of the course, faculty as academic advisor, as a supervisor: undergraduate research and field study, student activities i.e. robotic contest.

University service activities: The service activities carried out by the faculty are extensive, both on campus and off campus. Some faculty members become members of the university division. Also some faculty members participate in various committees for university or faculty activities, participate in coaching student activities such as robot contests, student creativity programs, and others. In addition, participation is also conducted outside the campus to serve the community. Community service in the form of: Procurement and counselling on how to obtain clean water for people in areas that are difficult to get clean water. Engaged in electricity-saving education programs and the use of solar panels for locations that have not installed electricity services by the government.

Professional development: Professional development for faculty members is regularly carried out. A faculty is required to take apart in the course design and pedagogical techniques training such as Instructional Technique for Basic Skills Improvement Training and Applied Approach Training. Some of the trainings are also attended by faculty members such as training on: the research proposal preparation, the strategy to penetrate international scientific journal publications, and the research output utilization with potential for patents. In addition to professional developments, the faculty members also build effective network with others lecturer in both domestic and abroad through post graduated program in foreign universities, national and international conferences, the program of scheme for academic mobility and exchange (SAME) in foreign universities.

Interactions with industrial and professional practitioners including employers of students: Some of the faculty members are actively involved in solving industrial problems, and conducting collaborative research such as with electric utility and cement companies. The EESP is regularly invited representatives from industry as guest lecturers in undergraduate classes to give public lectures to broaden the students understanding of current industrial context.

\section{Authority and Responsibility of Faculty}
\label{SEC:Authority and Responsibility of Faculty}
Faculty members at the EESP have responsibility related to academic program in electrical engineering which is approved by faculty. Besides semester evaluation, every five years, faculty members evaluate/ review the implementation of academic program as a whole including such us program goals, curriculum, student ratings, and equipment resources. The review is intended to know the implementation level of the academic program so it can be used as a reference in designing the next academic program. If there are big changes such as deleting or adding new course, then it is proposed to department and forwarded to faculty for final approval. Faculty members have authority for course modifications.
