Diponegoro University accepted 6 foreign students from IHE DELFT University, Netherlands to conduct research collaboration (21/11). They were accepted by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Prof. Ir. Moch. Agung Wibowo and Director of Research and Industrial Cooperation Dr. Ir. Bambang Purwanggono.
A number of these students will collaborate with UNDIP in the field of technology primarily in the management of urban and water governance in the North Coast of Java, Semarang and Pekalongan from November 2019 to January 2020.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering in his speech said, ”welcome to students of DELFT and thanked them for making UNDIP as reliable research cooperation partner in the academic field. He hopes that the sustainability of academic activities such as research or student exchanges can continue between UNDIP and IHE DELFT”.
These are following the names of students from IHE DELFT University: Juanita Andrea Ayala Morales, Maxine D.M.N Welsh, Laura Emeline Kiat-Niouk Tsang Mang Kin, Raksha Rani, Andik Syaifudin Zuhri, Zaida Aurora Cholico Santoyo.
Proud! That was the one and only word which match for Fitriana Iftatika or familiar called Nana (Head of Academics Staff of Faculty of Engineering). Indonesia Best Academics Staff (DIKTENDIK) 2019 was held at Jakarta. Nana as UNDIP representatives in this event succeed wins 3rd place as Best Indonesia Academics Staff. Ministry of Research and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia filtered all universities staff in Indonesia to compete in this agenda and the final result was University of Indonesia (UI) in 1st place and followed by Institute of Sepuluh November (ITS) in 2nd Place.
In her sincere speech to Dean of Faculty of Engineering and all academics staff of Faculty of Engineering, Nana said that, “This award must become our encouragement to make UNDIP more success in the future. We need to keep growing, open minded, and curious about something new in academics world”.
Have you ever heard about Nano technology? Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scales. Atomic diameters range from 62 picometers (Helium atoms) to 520 picometers (Cesium atoms), while combinations of several atoms form molecules with a nano-size range. The initial description of nanotechnology refers to the purpose of using technology to manipulate atoms and molecules to make macro-scale products (wikipedia.com). In general, nano technology is material manipulation with a maximum size of 100 nanometers. Nano technology is developed in various sectors, such as the health sector, food, chemical, machinery, industry to produce technologies that are more environmentally friendly and efficient.
Recently, alumni of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Suryandaru who is one of the founders of Nano Center, visited the Faculty of Engineering to share experiences with faculty. Suryandaru shares information about nano-technology that is very useful in the present.
Suryandaru said that nano technology is the latest technology at this time that is capable of manipulating particles into materials. With this technology, we can design new materials that have the desired function and have advantages. Suryandaru said that if a material was made in nano size, it would be possible to create material with extraordinary new properties, for example, scientists succeeded in making a material called graphene which had hundreds of times the strength of steel but lighter.
International Conference on Ship and Offshore Technology VI (ISCOT) 2019 will be held in Semarang. ISCOT is international conference in shipping industry and offshore technology who initiated by Royal Institute of Naval Architects (RINA) located in London. RINA collaborates with leading university across the world to organize this event.
The next agenda will be held on 25-26 November 2019 in UNDIP Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The main purpose of this annually conference is in order to give an opportunity for international marine industrial showing up their product and discuss about future challenge in offshore technology. Theme of this year is “Development of Marine Design, Construction and Operations”.
(23/10) Dean of Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Ir. Mochammad Agung Wibowo, MM, MSc, Ph.D in the presence of the Chancellor and the Senate of Diponegoro University, he expressed in his scientific oration by title “Model Green Supply Chain Management” (GSCM). He said that that construction industry is a crucial sector in development planning process. Construction sector contributed 10.2% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2011 and ranks fifth of the nine main sectors contributing to national GDP. In addition, he continued, it was also able to absorb 6.34 million workers (5.3% of the national workforce).
Inauguration was carried out in conjunction with the Inauguration of Professor from the Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Prof. Dr. Ir. Sutiono, MS. Nowadays, Undip has 124 professors from any various sciences field.
