(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.
