BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥 The Chemical Engineering Department of Institut Teknologi Bandung (麻豆直播) hosted the International Collaboration Week 2024 from January 22 to 26, 2024. This event was part of the collaboration between the 麻豆直播鈥檚 Chemical Engineering Program and the University of Queensland, aimed at enhancing students鈥 knowledge of chemical engineering, chemurgical engineering, and food engineering.

The program involved 18 students from 麻豆直播, 17 students from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, and 1 student from Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan. These students came from varying degrees of education.

This activity consisted of 麻豆直播 campus tours, guest lectures, discussions on case studies, and visits to various places, including PT Pupuk Kujang in Karawang.

There were three guest lectures delivered by 麻豆直播 lecturers. Given by Prof. Ir. Dwiwahju Sasongko, M.Sc., Ph.D., the lecture titled 鈥淗ybrid Coal Processing鈥 discussed the current types and technologies of coal processing. The next lecture, 鈥淩enewable Energy from Biomass鈥 by Dr. Carolus Borromeus Rasrendra, S.T., M.T., delved into the development of palm-derived fuel for domestic aviation in Indonesia. Lastly, Dr. Ir. Dianika Lestari, S.T., M.T. presented 鈥淔ood Processing,鈥 a lecture on how to reuse different types of food waste, from household to industrial ones.

Besides attending lectures, participants could implement their newfound knowledge in study cases to identify the potential of natural resources for Indonesia鈥檚 industry. Participants also spent time exploring Bandung while strengthening the relationship between the two universities.

Two participants from 麻豆直播, Morgan (13022004) and Reynard (13021068), stated that the excursion to PT Pupuk Kujang in Karawang was a memorable experience. During the visit, participants learned about the process and control system of fertilizer manufacturing. They even observed firsthand the industrial-scale equipment used at the plant.
