(3/7) The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro, held a visiting lecture with the title “Air Dehumidification & Drying Technology at B103 Room, Department of Mechanical Engineering. In this visiting lecture, Prof. Kwang-Hwan Choi from Pukyong National University, South Korea, was appointed as the main speaker.
This visiting lecture is part of the Visiting Professor program that was held at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Previously, the Faculty of Engineering Undip itself had signed the collaboration agreement with Pukyong National University last January. In this cooperation, both parties agreed to implement joint research, joint lecture, joint publication, and staff and student exchange. One of the results of that cooperation is this Visiting Professor program.
Prof. Kwang-Hwan Choi is a researcher and Head of the Renewable Energy Lab at Pukyong National University. Previously he had often visited Undip to conduct research and visiting lectures. This year, apart from giving a visiting lecture, he also conducted joint research and tutoring with Undip students and lecturers who are members of the Drying Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Undip.
In this visiting lecture, Prof. Kwang-Hwan Choi presented his material related to his research on cooling systems using renewable energy by focusing on the use of solar thermal. In his lecture, he encouraged the students present to utilize renewable energy as the main alternative in creating an environmentally friendly and sustainable cooling system.
Ir. Eflita Yohana, S.T., M.T., Ph.D, lecturer from the Department of Mechanical Engineering Undip, became the initiator of this program. According to her, the presence of Prof. Kwang-Hwan Choi was beneficial in providing new knowledge for the students and the lecturers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In addition, this visiting lecture can have a positive impact on the reputation of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Universitas Diponegoro in general.
