I would like to apply for YTB scholarship for undergraduate programs, majoring in automation and control engineering, mechatronics, and electrical engineering. My educational background is a vocational high school majoring in mechatronics, and I have experience in the automation field. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would be willing to review my application. Thank you.
Indonesia has vast renewable energy potential, yet continues to rely on fossil fuels for over 80% of its energy supply. Indonesia's vast renewable energy potential, along with the rapid rise of emerging technologies, inspired me to pursue engineering focused on practical solutions. At a vocational high school in Yogyakarta, I studied Mechatronics, where 65 percent of the curriculum emphasized hands-on practice, critical thinking, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. Integrating mechanical, electrical, control, and computer systems shaped my interdisciplinary engineering mindset.
In eleventh grade, I earned the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Program Level 1 and interned in a pulp and paper company's automation division, gaining hands-on experience with PLC and DCS systems. For my final project, I analyzed a rotary drum vacuum filter control system, integrating instrumentation, mechanical components, and logic. After six months, I was offered a full-time position as a DCS-PLC operator, becoming the youngest and first woman in the section. Working with engineers from different disciplines reinforced the importance of system-level thinking and strengthened my determination to pursue further engineering studies.
Pursuing a bachelor's degree in Automation and Electrical Engineering in Türkiye offers an academic environment closely linked to industry. Türkiye maintains a strong manufacturing base, while renewable energy sources supply approximately 44 percent of national electricity generation. These conditions create a relevant context in which engineering education intersects directly with industrial development and the energy transition.
The adoption of European accreditation ensures program quality, and courses in system integration, industrial automation, and control align with my goal of comprehensive system-level understanding. The emphasis on multidisciplinary projects and industry-linked training complements my vocational background and prepares me for evolving engineering challenges. I am also drawn to Türkiye's international exposure through the Erasmus+ internship mobility program. Beyond academics, I plan to join engineering clubs and project-based organizations to strengthen collaboration and problem-solving skills, while continuing mountaineering, which has instilled discipline and perseverance.
During my studies in Türkiye, I aim to develop specialized expertise in automation and electrical engineering, particularly in industrial control and renewable energy. In parallel, I hope to contribute to social and volunteer activities within the academic and local community. In the short term, I plan to gain project-based experience as a junior automation engineer in an international environment and deepen my practical skills. In the long term, I intend to return to Indonesia and lead efforts to advance energy efficiency and manufacturing modernization by fostering technology exchange and collaboration between Türkiye and Indonesia.
