(4/7) Three students from the Department of Environmental Engineering went to Japan to participate in a student exchange program at Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT). Those three students are Adieba Luthfia from the Undergraduate Program of Environmental Engineering, Bening Laksa Intan from the Master Program of Environmental Engineering, and Denny Hendrik from the Master Program of Environmental Engineering. They received scholarships from JASSO (Japan Student Services Association) and the World Class University (WCU) scheme from Universitas Diponegoro to be able to do study and research for three months at TUT.
This program is the result of collaboration between Universitas Diponegoro, Toyohashi University of Technology, and JASSO in providing opportunities for students to experience studying and doing research in Japan. The Department of Environmental Engineering Undip itself sent its students for the first time to take part in this program in 2022, and currently, there are four batches that have been delegated to study at TUT from the Department of Environmental Engineering Undip.
Adieba Luthfia, one of the awardees said that she first learned about this program from her friend who was a part of the group sent to TUT in the previous period. For this program, she said that she had to go through two stages of the selection process, namely document screening, and interview,” I know this program since last year because one of my friends went to Japan through this program. To be able to join this program, I had to go through two selection processes, namely document screening, and interview.”
She added that while at TUT she will be a short-term visiting international student, where she will study as an international student for three months. Different states were experienced by other two students from the Master Program, where they were chosen to be the special research students who will focus on conducting research in TUT’s laboratory under the supervision of a professor from TUT, Prof. Takanobu Inoue. “In this program, I will be a short-term visiting international student and the other two Master’s students of the Department of Environmental Engineering will be the special research students,” she said.
This program starts on 5 July and ends on 27 September. As in the previous period, the awardees will undergo several activities such as research, class, lab seminar, and many other study activities. Hopefully, the students who participate in this program will obtain precious experience and useful knowledge.
(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.

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.
(27/6) The International Undergraduate Program (IUP) of the Department of URP Undip sent again one of their students to join the double degree program at Curtin University. A student named Reyhan Wisnu Aliandri from IUP of the Department of URP, class of 2021, successfully got the opportunity to continue his study and obtain a double degree at the university that was ranked 183rd in the world.
This double degree program itself is the result of the collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering Undip and Curtin University which started since 2018. For now, there are two departments in the Faculty of Engineering Undip that offer the opportunity to pursue this double degree program through the International Undergraduate Program (IUP), which is the Department of URP and the Department of Chemical Engineering. The Department of URP itself has ever sent its students to participate in this program, where three of their students from the IUP program of URP went to Curtin University to continue their study in 2022.
This year, Reyhan Wisnu Aliandri is the only student from IUP of URP who will undergo a double degree program at Curtin University. Reyhan himself is grateful because he got the opportunity through the IUP program. He said that he initially chose the IUP in the Department of URP Undip because he learned that the international partners of the Department of URP are world-leading universities, such as Curtin University. “I didn’t know what IUP was for the first time. When I saw the IUP program in Undip, I learned about the partners for the IUP program, one of which was Curtin. That’s why I was interested in enrolling in this program,” he said.
As an IUP student of the Department of URP, Reyhan shared how the IUP program provides many opportunities to learn with international standards. He admitted that while in the IUP program of URP, he had many opportunities to study with international students, such as through Summer Courses, Joint Studios, and Double Degrees. “I enrolled in the IUP program of URP to be able to study with international standards. My parents also fully support that. Here I have the privilege to join several international programs such as Summer Course, Joint Studio, and Double Degree,” said Reyhan.
He advised the IUP students who are interested in enrolling in the double degree program at Curtin University to prepare the necessary files such as IELTS. In addition, he also advised the IUP students to look for information related to the double degree program independently, and always maintain communication with their parents. “Tips from me, prepare for the IELTS test well. For this test you have to study, so you have to keep your spirits up and keep motivating yourself. Then, you have to look for the information by yourself. Lastly, keep communicating with your parents.”
Reyhan was scheduled to arrive and begin his orientation period at Curtin University on 17th July. He hoped that with his achievement, there are many IUP students from the Department of URP who were interested in joining in a similar program. Moreover, he also hoped that the IUP of the Department of URP could provide more international programs for their student. “Hopefully in the future, there will be more international programs from the IUP of URP Undip so that there will be more interaction with foreign students. Hopefully, the IUP of URP will be more successful, have more students, and have more fun,” said Reyhan.
(22/6) The Department of Architecture Undip held the 156th Final Project (Tugas Akhir, TA) Exhibition and the Final Project (TA) Awards in the C101 Room of the Department of Architecture Undip. This exhibition is a periodic event held by the Department of Architecture to show the works of their students to the public as well as a medium of appreciation from the Department to their students who have finished their final project well.

He also added, at every Final Project Exhibition, there is an awarding event for the final projects with the best design called TA (Final Project) Awards. TA Awards itself is a form of appreciation from the Department of Architecture to their students with the best work in every Final Project Exhibition. In this TA Awards, the Department of Architecture Undip invited two guest lecturers from outside of Universitas Diponegoro as the judges, namely Kristanti Dewi Paramita, S.Ars., M.A., Ph.D. from Universitas Indonesia, Dani Hermawan, S.T, M.Arch from Universitas Pelita Harapan, dan Defry Agatha Ardianta, S.T, M.T from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November Surabaya. “The student’s work that won the award can be included in SKPI (Surat Keterangan Pendamping Ijazah, Bachelor’s Certificate Companion Letter) as their achievement, so it can motivate students to finish their work,” he said.
The final Project Exhibition for this year was held offline in the C101 Room of the Department of Architecture Undip. There were around 140 works displayed in this 156th exhibition
Muhammad Amir Akram, the person in charge of this program from HMA Amoghasida, said that this exhibition was aimed specifically for the final year students who had finished their final project and was attended by various audiences, ranging from the general public to other students. Besides the academics, several architecture practitioners also invited to attend and evaluate the works displayed in the exhibition. As the person in charge, he himself was grateful that the execution of the Final Project Exhibition and TA Awards this year went quite smoothly although there were some obstacles due to the first time this event was held offline. “For yesterday, I think it went quite smoothly, but there were a few problems because that was the first time for us to held it again after the pandemic.”
On this TA Awards, four works were selected as the winners, namely “BONAPPETEA” BY Ardian Nabil Farizi, “Designing Muntilan Station with Way Finding Approach” by Ivan Valentino, “Center for Education and Disaster Mitigation Design through Spatial Experience Narrative” by M. Ziyad Hibatulloh, and “LPP RRI Semarang Radio Headquarters” by M. Falih Syifa. Mr Resza hoped that with this Final Project Exhibition and TA Awards, students can be encouraged to finish their final project. “Hopefully this program can motivate other students,” he said.
(26/6) Robotics team from Undip named Bandhayuda Team successfully won 3rd place and the Best Design award in the KRAI division (Kontes Robot ABU Indonesia, ABU Indonesian Robot Contest) at the Indonesian Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Indonesia, KRI) 2023 which was held on 21-16 June 2023 at Universitas Semarang.
Indonesian Robot Contest, or KRI, itself is a robotics design and engineering competition for college students held by the Center for Indonesian Talent Development (Balai Pengembangan Talenta Indonesia, BPTI) of the National Achievement Center (Pusat Prestasi Nasional, Puspresnas) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) since 2003. In this 21st event, there were 96 universities that competed to win champions in 7 divisions, namely ABU Indonesian Robot Contest (KRAI), Indonesian Wheeled Football Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Sepak Bola Indonesia-Beroda, KRSBI-B), Indonesian Humanoid Football Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Sepak Bola Indonesia-Humanoid, KRSBI-H), Indonesian SAR Robot Contest (Kontes Robot SAR Indonesia, KRSRI), Indonesian Dance Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Seni Tari Indonesia, KRSTI), Indonesian Thematic Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Tematik Indonesia, KRTMI), and Indonesian Underwater Robot Contest (Kontes Robot Bawah Air Indonesia, KRBAI).
On this year’s KRI, the Undip Robotics Development Center (URDC) sent four teams to compete in four different divisions, namely Bandhayuda Team in KRAI, EWS Bascorro in KRSBI-H, EWS Barracuda in KRSBI-B, and EWS Andromeda in KRSRI. Apart from Bandhayuda Team, the other teams also made impressive achievements. EWS Bascorro secured the top 8 positions in the KRSBI-H division. EWS Andromeda also secured the same position in the KRSRI division. Meanwhile, EWS Barracuda managed to finish in the top 18 in KRSBI-B division.
Miftahul Anwar, Leader of Bandhayuda Team, said that for this year, the preparation that Bandhayuda team had done was quite a lot. This is because KRAI itself must follow the rules from ABU Robocon which is an international competition, so they have to make the robot from scratch by following these rules. “It takes careful preparation and a long time to think of ideas, design, and robot program that takes as simple as possible to solve the assigned tasks,” said the Mechanical Engineering student from the class of 2020.

In KRAI itself, each team had to prepare two robots with different mechanisms, which were Rabbit Robot and Elephant Robot. These two robots will be programmed to be able to throw the rings into the prepared poles as quickly and as much as possible. Moh. Sirojudin Mudir, the Programmer of Bandhayuda Team, admitted that the preparation done by Bandhayuda Team for this year’s KRAI was quite good. He and his team are grateful and proud to be able to present the 3rd place for Universitas Diponegoro this year. “Even though we can’t win the first place, I am still proud of all my teammates who have been willing to research and fight every day even during the competition. Hopefully, there will be people who can continue our struggle,” he said.
Dr. Eng. Munadi, ST., MT, the supervisor of Bandhayuda Team, hoped that with this positive result from Bandhayuda Team this year, Undip can pay more attention to the Undip Robotics students such as by providing a basecamp for the activity of Undip Robotics Development Center and giving appreciation for the students who have achievements. “I hoped that there will be more attention from Undip regarding a permanent basecamp for the Undip Robotics students so that the process of training and robot development can be conducted continuously and structurally. In addition, there is an appreciation for the students who won the competition, for example by giving the scholarship for them to continue their master’s degree in Undip,” he said.
