LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

To Whom It May Concern:

Ms. Kasdiana, S.T. has asked that I prepare this official Letter of Recommendation to support her intention to continue her study to pursue a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, especially in Automatic Control Engineering or other related area. 

As I write this letter, Ms. Kasdiana has just completed her first degree (Sarjana Teknik, S.T.) in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, INDONESIA, where I myself have been with since 1983. After completing her first degree in Electrical Engineering with excellent grades, Ms. Kasdiana told me her intention to continue her study. This has proven to me how she values education highly. 

I supervised Ms. Kasdiana’s undergraduate final project that she did closely with her partner, so that I was so thoroughly impressed by her technical competence in her field. The final project was a project on the application of Programmable Logic Controller for controlling a cement industrial plant. By completing this project, Ms. Kasdiana and her partner have shown their great interest in learning about the new technology in the Control Engineering area so that I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity to pursue a higher degree program in this field. 

Should you wish any further information, please feel free to contact me, and I will gladly respond to your inquiries.

With kindest regards,

Rhiza S. Sadjad, Ir., M.S.E.E., Ph.D.
